I have explained it in English because I haven't got time to try the Spanish version just now. - annierats, May 8, 2013

ofrenda- an offer is voluntary, given goodheartedly with no ill feeling afterwards.
I offered my services as driver, after my friend had an accident.
sacrificio-- a sacrifice means something important is given up, it's often given to appease another person, or a God.
The suicide bomber sacrificed himself and rode his bicyclke into the police-station, carrying a bomb, even though I offered to do it for him.
Sacrificio can alsom simply mean the slaughter of animals in Spanish, but not in English. If you sacrifice an animal in English, youoffer it to the Gods and kill it, an outdated practice.
