A collection of stories highlighting miracles and hope.
What started as a small Day of the Dead ofrenda at a Champ Burger on Sampson St. has evolved into a large, colorful community shrine for loved ones who have passed.Six years ago, a personal Día de los Muertos ofrenda, or shrine, at Champ Burger in east Houston gave rise to a new neighborhood tradition.The popular burger joint has been a staple serving up hamburgers and fries since 1963.
The once small ofrenda for Saladino's family has grown into a large shrine for the entire community to drop off photos to remember their deceased loved ones. Among the lives remembered, HCSO Deputy Darren Almendarez, who was tragically gunned down last year. His wife left his photo at the altar. Employees who've passed on are honored too.
The bright, colorful displays also feature marigolds because the flowers are believed to attract spirits. Small sugar skulls and mementos that meant something to the dead are also included. We also saw a football, a pack of Juicy Fruit gum, a bag of Whales chips and a plastic hamburger on the shrine.
