Cuento del bordado
They say that the curved staircase in this embroidery is the one families climb, flowers in hand, on the night of November 1st. The little figures move slowly, step by step, until they reach the two small altars where their deceased loved ones await them.
The cactus and trees mark the path, and the smiling sun stays awake a little longer so that no one gets lost. Putting this tablecloth on the table, the story goes, is like leaving the door open.
