The main holidays in Mexico are the Day of the Dead, the Day of Guadalupe, the Dia de Los Tres Reyes Magos (The Day of the Three Kings), the Cinco de Mayo, the Day of Mexican Independence and Christmas. The Day of the Dead is a holiday similar to Halloween, but Mexicans celebrate the holiday to remember and honor their ancestors and loved ones who have passed away (Stuart 189). Guadalupe Day is a holiday in which Mexicans celebrate and worship the Virgin Guadalupe. The holiday is meant to show how much faith you have in religion. During this day many people go on a kneeling pilgrimage to the church to worship the Virgin of Guadalupe in the church (Stuart 184). Three Kings Day is a holiday where children receive gifts. This holiday is also based on a religious story, in which the Three Kings travel far to bring gifts to baby Jesus (Stein 94). On May 5, Mexico celebrates el Cinco de Mayo, a day when Mexico commemorates the victory over the French militia at the Battle of Puebla. It is mistaken for the independence of Mexico and is celebrated mainly in the United States (Metzger). Mexican Independence Day is a day when Mexicans celebrate the day they became independent from Spain. Christmas is also a very important holiday in Mexico, where families gather and celebrate for three days
