When is Cinco de Mayo this year?
Today is Cinco de Mayo. Cinco = five. Mayo = May. The fifth of May.
I love to ask people, "when is Cinco de Mayo this year?" Many people recognize it as a holiday but do not understand that it is date specific. Much like someone from another culture might hear that we celebrate a holiday called July 4th. If the words July and fourth don't translate well into their language, they might not know it was a specific day.Did you know that Cinco de Mayo is not celebrated very much in Mexico? [I have readers who disagree with this] Cinco de Mayo is actually a fabricated holiday for Americans to drink margaritas and have a party.
It is also not the Mexican day of Independence. That is September 16th. Cinco de Mayo celebrates a Mexican victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla, May 5th 1862.
Anyway, today is Cinco de Mayo. When is it next year?
It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to be the good.
