I thought I would start a thread for all the Latino's in the BFP community to share their holidays, stories, experiences. Today for us (Mexican's) it's our Independence Day!!!!
Padre Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla es nuestro Padre de Independencia, he was a priest who started a revolt with the indians, that led to us gaining our independence from the clutches of the Spanish. In 1821 cries were heard and till this day on September 16 we celebrate con "El Grito De Independencia"
VIVA MEXICO!!!
Followed by our national anthem, this is followed by food, drink, dancing, matachines, laughing, fireworks, low riders and everyone celebrating and puffing up with pride.
You will see people beltiing our Anthem out crying, and swaying hugging singing this.
