Both.

Based on my conversation with the nice man at Dulcelandia (who sells a lot of sugar skulls during this season), All Saints Day is more "for the kids" and All Souls Day is more "for adults," and both are part of "Day of the Dead."

Early this morning I thought at some length about our friend, unmindful that today is I Morti. Your tribute gives some welcome solace on a sad day. Thank you.
