Each stamp in the collection represents an important element of a Mexican ofrenda (altar). In Mexico, Day of the Dead is not a day of sorrow or mourning, but rather a day to remember friends and loved ones who have passed away. Altars serve as a physical link to the spiritual world, guiding the dead back to the living world during special occasions.
