Cinco de Mayo
This fifth day of May is Cinco de Mayo and do you know what that means? Eating and celebrating of course! But do you know why Cinco de Mayo is celebrated?
It happened in 1862, when the French invaded Mexico to get back money that Mexico owed them. The Mexican people were ready to protect themselves and they did.
On May 5, 1862, about 2000 Mexican military men and Puebla citizens, armed with farm and household weapons, defeated the French army’s attack. Cinco de Mayo is the celebration of this surprise victory and the celebration of the bravery of those who fight against oppression. In honor of Cinco de Mayo, we have some yummy recipes and fun projects. Have fun!
