The cempasúchil, or “flower of the dead,” has deep roots in Aztec legend, symbolizing the love story of Xóchitl and Huitzilin. After tragic loss, the sun god turned Xóchitl into this golden-orange flower to reunite the lovers, with the flower’s scent guiding souls home. Today, Mexicans cover altars with cempasúchil during Day of the Dead
More famously, the flower has become synonymous with Mexico’s Day of the Dead celebrations, as it is believed that its vibrant hue and aroma guide departed loved ones back for a night of reunion.
