SUMMARY:"Dia de los Muertos" - Day of the Dead
DESCRIPTION:Rather Than Halloween\, Mexicans Honor Their Past Loved Ones on Day of the Dead\nOctober 31 – November 2 – During this time\, Mexico celebrates the Day of the Dead. This holiday is as important to Mexicans as Thanksgiving is in the USA and Canada. It is a celebration\, not of death\, but of the continuum of life. Families travel long distances to be with their loved ones on this occasion. Its origins are distinctly Mexican: During the time of the Aztecs\, a month-long summer celebration was overseen by the goddess Mictecacihuatl\, the Lady of the Dead. After the Aztecs were conquered by Spain and Catholicism became the dominant religion\, the customs became intertwined with the Christian commemoration of All Saints’ Day on Nov. 1st. The holiday is a joyous celebration!  It is a time for the family to pray\, to reflect\, to honor and to remember their dead. \nMost cities have parades with exciting costumes. Look for events in your area. \nRead these articles: \nAltars\, Masks and Parades for the Day of the Dead in Mexico \n \n  \n

SUMMARY:Flag Day in Mexico
DESCRIPTION:Flag Day is not a public holiday\, but rather a national observance day. Most businesses follow regular opening hours in Mexico. \nThe colors of the Mexican flag – red\, white\, and green – are the national liberation army’s colors. Mexicans first celebrated the country’s current flag on February 24\, 1937. \nThe emblem in the middle of the flag comes from a legendary Aztec story. The Aztecs built their empire on a spot where they found an eagle eating a snake on top of a cactus. It is believed that the incident of the eagle and snake was a sign given by one of their gods and the place where it happened is now Mexico City.

SUMMARY:Three Kings Day - "Dia de los Reyes"
DESCRIPTION:Rather Than Santa\, Mexican Children Celebrate Arrival of the Three Kings and Camels on January 6th\nIn Spanish countries\, the children do not receive gifts in December on Christmas day. Instead\, the family exchanges gifts on January 6th of the new year on Three Kings Day – Día de Los Reyes Magos. This celebration stems from the New Testament of the Bible\, where it states that the kings\, Melchor\, Gaspar\, and Balthasar\, traveled by night all the way from the farthest confines of the earth to bring gifts to the baby Jesus. Arriving from three different directions\, the kings followed the light provided by the star of Bethlehem\, which reportedly lingered over the manger where the Virgin Mary gave birth for many days.   \nThree Kings Day is celebrated with festive lights in the streets\, Nativity scenes and holiday songs. There is also a joyful parade called the “Cabalgata de los Reyes Magos\,” to symbolize the arrival of the kings.  The kings ride upon horses or elaborate floats and throw goodies down to the children lining the streets. This is also traditionally the big opportunity for children to ask the kings for presents. \nIn the evening\, before an early night in bed\, children leave out their shoes in a spot where the kings are sure to see them. The religious monarchs\, just like Santa Claus\, certainly love their sweets\, so the children often set out goodies to entice the kings as well as hay to feed their camels. When morning arrives\, children delightedly discover that the kings nibbled the sweets\, the camels ate the hay\, and by their shoes there are wrapped presents.
