ExiledInIllinois Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 My grandmother was born and raised in Mexico and I never once heard of Cinco de Mayo until about 15 years ago. What region was she born and raised in? Cinco de Mayo (Battle of Puebla) is a regional holiday and gained prominance with the American west portion that once was Mexico... Unlike the 16th of September (Mexican Independence Day). I suppose it can be like Dyngus Day... Ask Polish people right from Poland and they probably never heard of it. Now, ask a guy on the East Side of BFLO... LoL... Or in of all places: South Bend, Indiana and you will get a whole another reaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledInIllinois Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 She was born and raised in Mexico City. I don't know what region that is considered. Interesting... My sister inlaw is from Mexico (not Mexico City)... BUT I do sense a cultural divide between say the Mexico City "culture" region and say the border areas... I guess kinda like any country... Cinco de Mayo does have to do with the French, not Spanish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbb Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 I honestly don't think it was such a big deal until Americans needed a reason to party in early May. From what I've heard, St. Pat's Day is more of a religious day, like Christmas, in Ireland. Dyngus Day - I don't even know if anybody in Poland knows what that is!
