Many Latinos feel isolated in Minnesota. Home altars make them feel safe and connected.

Minnesotans from Mexico often feel isolated here, by language and culture. A tradition of keeping altars in their homes creates sacred space and provides them protection, connection and hope in their frigid new homeland. Centuries ago, the Virgin of Guadelupe revealed herself to an Indigenous Mexican, sanctifying the Native ancestry of all Mexicans. Produced with Carleton College.
