Independence Day in Mexico – History
A Spanish conquistador, Herman Cortes, dominated the Aztecs in Mexico in 1521, and consequently Mexico became a Spanish colony. From that moment on for almost 300 years, Spain ruled over Mexico up until the early 1800’s. In the early 1800’s, Mexicans began to revolt against Spanish rule to earn their independence back. Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, a Roman Catholic priest in Dolores, Mexico, started ringing the bell at his church. This historic moment was a signal to call to arms. This is a very important moment in history as it started the Mexican War of Independence. Each year, Independence Day (Dia de la Independencia) in Mexico is an important holiday and celebration that starts before midnight on September 15th, and September 16th is the official Independence Day holiday.
Viva Mexico – El Grito
The famous cry El Grito or Viva Mexico from Father Miquel Hidalgo declared independence in Mexico. Each year before midnight on September 15th, people throughout Mexico come out to reenact this cry. The El Grito cry is still done today in Mexico when Viva Mexico is yelled out three times in a row.
