In celebrating Día de los Muertos, we are reminded that remembrance is an act of love, and through the beauty of flowers, the spirits of the departed never truly fade. They bloom, again and again, in the hearts of those who remember them.
Marigolds, known in Mexico as cempasúchil, are the flowers most associated with Día de los Muertos celebrations. Their vibrant orange and yellow colors symbolize the sun, warmth, and the light of life. According to ancient Aztec beliefs, the marigold was sacred to Mictecacihuatl, the goddess of death. Their scent is so strong and distinctive that no spirit could ignore it. When scattered, the petals create a colorful, glowing trail helping to guide the spirits of the deceased back to the world of the living.
People use marigolds in almost every part of the Día de los Muertos celebration. They act as a reminder that even in death there is beauty and brightness to be found. Native to Mexico, marigolds are now grown around the world and the illustration featured on this hoodie comes from an early seventeenth century Dutch book where it was a newly imported novelty item.
