ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Nicho

Nicho is like a special little house that is made to honor someone or something important. It is usually found in places where people speak Spanish, like Mexico or parts of the United States. Inside the nicho, there are usually pictures, statues or other things that remind people of the person or thing it honors. For example, a nicho might be made to honor a saint or a loved one who has passed away. It is a way to remember and show respect for that person or thing. Think of it like a special treasure box that helps people remember something or someone they care about.
