April 3, 2009   7:00 PM through 10:00 PM  
   
If you are planning to have an altar please call Dolores Parker at 428-0348 so she can put your altar on the route map.  For Spanish speaking please call Ana Acuna at 428-0974.  
   
Below is a partial list of some of the items for an altar:  
   
* A picture, painting or statue of Our Mother of Sorrow  
   
* Crucifix, nails, colored water, candles and flowers, wheat, seeds,  oranges, paper cut-outs, crown of thorns, rooster, ladder, hammer, pliers, column with lash or whip, gold objects, silver and gold flags.  
   
* Music: "Staba Mater" by G. Rossini.  
   
Be creative and use your imagination, not your money, when decorating your altar.  
   
Maps are available at La Corregidora Bar and at the Museum.

 

 
Your home and altar should be lit with luminarios or other lights so they can be seen by visitors

This year, please have your altars available for viewing both Friday and Saturday.
