Santa Maria – Dia de Muertos halo designed for the Virgin Mary while celebrating the holiday. Atop the long blue glittering veil is a flower crown of the traditional cempazuchitl, and a halo of the twelve shining rays of stars representing the twelve apostles from the center of a glittering golden cross encrusted with twinkling red crystals all trimmed in intricate filigree halo much like the papel picado. A true to cultural blend of both Catholicism and Dia de Muertos!
Please note the batteries are not included for the string of stars.

I would also like to thank Darrell Hicks, a teacher of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, for helping to inspire me and teaching me about the meaning and importance of many of the symbols used herein!
Lastly but certainly not least, I would like to thank the designer of the Dia de los Deftones flyer for inspiring me to create this piece and entering it into their contest and Deftones themselves for picking my submission for first place!!!!!!!!!
