The traditions and customs of the Mexican people are varied and diverse. They are proud of their native heritage and each region has its own cultural practices and celebrations. Some of these celebrations include:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Day of the Dead <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(November 1st and 2nd)<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During this festival, offerings are made to the souls of ancestors.

Mexico City is a great place to be for this festival with the Cry of Independence being recited by the people followed by fireworks, music and dancing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although these celebrations are widely celebrated throughout Mexico and will continue to be celebrated, the national identity of Mexican culture seems to be fading quietly by the Americanization process. The influences from movies, music, and social media can play an impact so it is important to instill and teach the children of today the importance of Mexican traditional values. \ud83c\uddf2\ud83c\uddfd<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Keeping the Mexican traditional values alive By: Christopher Buzalsky First of all, Mexico is well known for its vibrant, colorful and unique culture.
