Altars For The Departed
Author: Tom Morton Source: Star-Tribune (WY)
Title: ALTARS FOR THE DEPARTED
To honor her grandmother, Shawna Zimmer set up an altar at the Nicolaysen Art Museum with synthetic marigolds and other flowers, some religious icons, and a couple of vices.
"She liked Diet Coke and Snickers," Zimmer said. "And her favorite color was blue."
Down the hall, Stephanie McCash erected an altar in honor of her father, a registered nurse who died 10 years ago.
Beside his picture, McCash adorned the altar with marigolds, skulls, votive candles, and his favorite candies -- double-dipped chocolate peanuts and maple goodies.
Their altars are among the exhibits for a week-long show about the Mexican holiday of the Day of the Dead, starting with a reception at 2 p.m. today and ending on Nov. 8.
