  8. Los Pasos abril Celebrated in most Spanish-speaking countries. It’s a somber and religious observance. People march through the streets carrying floats of Jesus and Mary on their shoulders

  9. El Cinco de mayo mayo This is NOT Mexican Independence Day. (That’s in Sept.) The tiny village of La Puebla defeated the French (Napoleon III) who wanted a foothold in North America.

  10. Día de la Bandera junio Argentina’s day of pride commemorating it’s freedom from Spain and England

  11. Sanfermines julio Originated in Pamplona (northern Spain). At noon, a hoard of bulls are released throughout the streets of the city and contestants race to avoid being trampled. Onlookers perch atop the high stone walls to avoid being run over.

  12. El Primer Grito de Independencia agosto Ecuador was the first Spanish colony in South America to declare its independence from Spain in 1809. From that date, independence came quickly to the rest of Latin America with great effort from Simón Bolivar. Spain was facing financial crisis at this point and thus made it an opportune moment to rebel.

  13. Día de Independencia septiembre Mexico’s Independence is celebrated in September. The flag has a caracara (like an eagle) holding a snake in it’s talon and perched atop a cactus on a rock that is above a lake. This symbol is of Tenochtitlan, the ancient Aztec city (now the capital of Mexico) and refers to the legend that the Aztec gods told the people to build a city where they spotted the caracara with the serpent.

  14. Día de Muertos octubre Popular in Mexico. Honors ancestors and the dead. There is food and candy skulls. At night, people take food and trinkets that the dead enjoyed in life and lay them near the graves.

  15. Día de la Revolución noviembre In 1910 Mexico rebelled and removed the dictator who was in power for nearly 30 years. Mexico would, after the revolution, adopt a Constitution and emerge with a Presidency that continues today.

  16. La Navidad/Las Posadas diciembre A tradition on “La Nochebuena” (el 24 de diciembre) Two villagers dress as Mary and Joseph and look for shelter Another villager dresses as the devil and persuades inn-keepers to send Mary and Joseph away. The process continues until Mary and Joseph find shelter and a feast begins.
