Holidays, Mexican Holidays
by Peter Emerson
Holidays unanimously symbolize relaxation and fun. Known for its enticing aromas of organic coffee and mouthwatering menus, Mexican culture is an amalgamation of the old and the modern. Holidays observed here are rooted in their rich culture and religious beliefs, which form the basis of their existence.
Celebrated on May 5th, the holiday of Cinco de May, marks the victory of the Mexicans over the French army at the Battle Of Puebla in 1862. Primarily a regional holiday, it is celebrated chiefly in the Mexican state capital city of Puebla, and some other parts of the country as well. Año Nuevo, or the New Year's Day, is celebrated throughout the country with unmatchable gusto and zeal. In accordance with the belief of the arrival of three wise men to present gifts to Jesus Christ, Mexicans celebrate Día de los Santos Reyes, and exchange Christmas presents. This day also marks the end of Christmas festivities. The Feast Day of de San Antonio de Abad is a unique holiday wherein animals are allowed to enter the Catholic Church for blessings. Celebrated with elaborate processions, dancing and frolic, the holiday of Día de la Candelaria, or Candlemas, is a religious holiday. Bullfights are a special feature of this holiday. Celebrated in the month of February, Carnival is the official Mexican holiday which marks the start of five-day long celebration of the libido, prior to the observation of Lent. Celebrated with exorbitant parades, dancing, processions and feasts, this festival is celebrated all over the Mexico. Port towns such as Ensenada, La Paz, Mazatlán and Veracruz are the most appropriate destinations to enjoy this festival. Mexicans observe the holy week of Semana Santa , which signifies the end of the 40-day Lent period. This week also includes Good Friday and Easter Sunday. Confetti-filled eggs are broken over the heads of friends and family as a custom. As Mexico is a predominantly Christian nation, Christmas marks the peak of Mexican festivities. With celebrations going on until the first week of January, the festival is celebrated with exceptional zest and religious fervor.
