Día de la Cruz Plate
Made in commemoration of Día de la Cruz/Day of The Cross. While celebrated across the Catholic world, in Latin America traditions are much more vivid and alive. Mexican carpenters and construction workers will build small altars for the cross in their shops or worksites. While in El Salvador, a much more synchronized celebration occurs. Prior to The Conquest, the indigenous of El Salvador would build altars of fruits and jiote wood to honor the coming rainy season and give offerings to the god of rain, Xipe Totec. Now, the fruit offerings are centralized around a wooden cross in honor of Christ’s sacrifice on the earth, drawing parallels in harvest and fertility.
Made of glazed stoneware. Hand wash recommended but dishwasher and microwave safe.
Measures 6” across.
