Día de los Muertos Ofrenda
Laramie County Library System is pleased to present a display of altars, also called ofrendas (offerings), created by employees to commemorate Día de los Muertos and honor departed loved ones.
Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) offers a unique, colorful perspective on death that turns a sad fact of life into something to celebrate. The Cheyenne Día de los Muertos Community Celebration seeks to share the cultural significance of this holiday and provide a welcoming space for people to celebrate publicly. This celebration exists as an educational opportunity for the entire community to learn about cultures and traditions in an inclusive way.
