Water, Earth, Wind, and Fire When the ofrendas are up and the living are ready to welcome their dead back home, there are four elements present. Water, to quench the spirits thirst after such a long journey. Banners, to flap in the wind. Earth is represented by food. And most importantly, candles are left burning to help the spirits find their way. If you were a spirit, visiting home after a year in the afterlife, what would you want to find on the ofrenda? Would you be looking for your family's special cookie recipe? Or maybe you'd just want a nice cold brew. Hey, to each their own!
