    Cinco de Mayo is a Mexican celebration that remembers a military victory against the French on May 5, 1862. Cinco de Mayo means May the fifth in Spanish. It is not a public or a national holiday in Mexico. It is largely celebrated in the Mexican state of Puebla, where the victory against French forces took place. Even though it is not a major holiday in Mexico, it is a well-known celebration. This is because Mexicans in the USA and other countries use it as a day to show their pride in their culture. Even non-Mexican Americans celebrate the day in the USA. Many people mistakenly believe Cinco de Mayo celebrates Mexico’s Independence Day. This is false. Mexican’s celebrate their nation’s independence on September the 16th.…

    Mexico’s Independence Day is celebrated on September 16 and is the celebration of the country’s separation from Spain in 1810. This holiday is a lot like America’s Fourth of July. They celebrate with fireworks, parades, dances, and some cities even hold bullfights. The Day of the Virgin of Guadalupe is a religious Catholic holiday and it is celebrated on December 12. It is the celebration of the believed appearance of the Virgin Mary in Mexico City on that day in the 1531. On this holiday, thousands of people travel to Mexico City to see the spot where the Virgin Mary was spotted and to honor and celebrate her. Revolution Day is always celebrated on the third Monday of November. This holiday is to remember the ten year revolution against Dictator Diaz. It is a public holiday so most businesses and all schools are canceled for the whole day. It is celebrated with festivals and parades. Cinco de Mayo is Spanish for the fifth of May, which is when the holiday is celebrated. This holiday is to celebrate the Mexican army’s victory over the French, which happened on May 5, 1862. Cinco de Mayo is actually not celebrated as much in Mexico as it is in America. Although, in American we are not celebrating the victory of the Mexican Army, we are “just using it as a day to party and eat fake Mexican food,” says…
