Answer 1

主要有四个：

1.CINCO de MAYO

Literally meaning the 5th of May, Cinco de Mayo celebrates the victory of the Mexican Army over the French at the Battle of Puebla in 1862. On that date 5,000 poorly equipped Mestizo and Zapotec Indians defeated the French army, which had invaded Mexico in the aftermath of the Mexican-American War. The day came to symbolize Mexican unity and patriotism. Today, it has been embraced throughout the United States as a celebration of freedom and liberty. In fact, Cinco de Mayo is now celebrated with more exuberance in the United States than in Mexico.

2. EL GRITO de INDEPENDENCIA - INDEPENDENCE DAY

Every 16th of September, Mexicans celebrate Mexico's independence from Spanish rule. The date actually marks the start of the Independence War, which lasted for 10 years. In the early hours of September 16, 1810, Father Hidalgo and a group of conspirators rang the bell of his small church and called everyone to fight for liberty. Today, the story is re-enacted in every zocalo, or plaza, in Mexico. Flags wave from every structure. Lighted decorations are put up, and people of all ages join in Mexico's biggest fiesta.

3.LOS DIAS de LOS MUERTOS

Los Dias de los Muertos means Day of the Dead, but it is really a Mexican celebration of both life and death. Held on November 1st and 2nd, celebrants honor the spirit of family ancestors. Spirits of children are thought to return on the 1st and adults on the 2nd. Altars are built, and then covered with food and decorations. Cemeteries are decorated with fresh flowers. Paper mache sculptures depict the dead in an everyday context, such as skeletons, and most are comical in nature. Through music and feasting, everyone embraces the totality of both life and death. It is a time of celebration.

4. LAS POSADAS

Las Posadas begins on the 16th of December and continues for the next nine nights. Through candlelight processions and festive parties, participants remember the long journey undertaken by Joseph and Mary, and their search for lodging in Bethlehem. In fact, "posada" means "shelter". A woman and man portraying Mary and Joseph lead the procession, followed by children in the roles of angels, The Three Kings, and shepherds. Others carry candles, paper lanterns and banners as they proceed from house to house in search of a place to stay. At each residence along the procession route they are refused shelter, until at last, they are welcomed in at the last home. Then, a grand party with food for all is held.
