Compare and contrast traditions between Spain and Mexico?
In general terms, both countries have almost the same traditions, especially those of religious nature: Mexico was conquered by Spanish conquistadors in the early years of the 16th century and remained as part of the Spanish Empire during the following 300 years, until 1821 when Mexico won its war of independence. In the meantime, Mexico acquired several traits from its new masters, including their language, religion and culture. There is however, one caveat: Mexico already had an existing culture; that of the Mesoamerican civilizations -- such as Aztecs and Mayans -- who inhabited the country by the millions. Due to the rather large Native American population, the conquistadors were forced to mix both cultures, resulting in the "Mexican culture" we know today.
Some traditions common to both countries include:
- Epiphany celebration - Jan 6
- Carnival/ Lent - February
- Easter - March/April
- Day of the dead - Nov 1 & 2
- Christmas - Dec 25
There are however, several regional and local festivities that are not common among both countries. For example:
Mexico:
- Dia de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe / Day of the Virgin of Guadalupe - honoring Mexico's patron saint - December 12.
- Las Posadas / The Posadas - Celebrating Joseph and Mary's search for shelter in Bethlehem with candlelight processions that end at various nativity scenes - December 16-24.
Spain:
- Fiesta de Moros y Cristianos / Moors and Christians Festivity - Celebrating the Reconquista (re-conquest) of the Iberian Peninsula - April 22-24.
