This is one of the altars that volunteers from the Centro Aztlan Chicomoztoc build every year in the Almaden community, Hacienda cemetery, in honor of the Mexican, Chilean and Ohlone miners that lost their lives while working in the mines extracting mercury in the 1850's. As a result, mercury brought an immense amount of wealth to Santa Clara County. In this event, we also honor our loved ones, friends and people that we honor from the community,
