Holidays in Mexico!
The month of December is without a
doubt the busiest Holiday month in
Mexico. Beginning with the Day of
the Virgin of Guadalupe on December
12 and ending with the Epiphany in
January.
The day of the Virgin of Guadalupe
is a very important holiday in the
country in which millions of
pilgrims travel to the Basilica in
Mexico City. The area of the
Basilica becomes a stage for
singing, dancing and celebrating the
sacrifices and miracles of life.
Beginning on December 16 and until
Christmas Eve, the Posadas reenact
the journey to Bethlehem of Joseph
and Mary. People holding candles go
from door to door seeking shelter
and a place to give birth to their
child, the son of God, Jesus Christ.
Colorful piñatas, full of sweets and
fruit are traditional of these
festivities.
New Year is also very important in
Mexico. Mexicans say goodbye to the
old year and welcome the New Year
with big parties. Don't miss the
celebrations in the small town
plazas or the big beach resorts! |
