One of Mexico's most important religious holidays is celebrated on All Saint's Day (November 1) and All Soul's Day (November 2): Dia de los Muertos (sometimes called Dia de los Fieles Difuntos) – Day of the Dead. Traditionally, November 1st honors deceased children and November 2nd honors deceased adults. The first day, November 1st, is called Dia de los Angelitos, or day of the little angels. While the Dia de os Muertos holiday is associated most strongly with Mexico, the tradition has spread far and wide. It is widely celebrated in the United States, as as a continuation of Halloween. Its imagery has also spread, as evident in the work of Peruvian artists such as Claudio Jimenez Quispé.
