Día de Muertos is the most important tradition for Mexico and Central America (Mesoamerica) that worships death through life. November 1st is the day that commemorates all the Saints, (Todos los Santos), meaning that is dedicated to the kids or babies who are gone. November 2nd is for the Faithful Departed (Fieles Difuntos), dedicated to grownups.This is why JUMP, the Idaho State Museum, and the Hispanic community are coming together to celebrate this annual festival that demonstrates love and respect for our passed loved ones.
