Happy Cinco De Mayo from Worldofceleb.com
Date of Celebration: May 5, 2008
The holiday of
Cinco De Mayo, The 5th Of May, commemorates the victory of the
Mexicans over the French army at The Battle Of Puebla in 1862.
The biggest misconception about Cinco de Mayo is that it
commemorates of México's Independence Day, which is celebrated
on September 16. On that date back in 1810, Father Miguel
Hidalgo issued a proclamation known as "El Grito de Dolores"
that united the many different rebellions going on against Spain
into one cohesive struggle. México achieved its independence
from Spanish rule in 1821. |
