join hands from all points around the globe to share in this holiday. As an ESL teacher, I met a wonderful lady from Juarez who told about the Feast of San Isidro (Isidore) the Farmer. It's celebrated on May 15. Processions wended through villages, she said, following the Isidore's icon. There was music and food, prayers and joy. Manuela was one of the key reasons I converted to Catholicism in 1993. She is the godmother for two of my children.
Why not celebrate Cinco de Mayor by honoring Mexico's most famous saints. Along with St. Isidro, the Blessed Mother, Patroness of the Americas, Our Lady of Guadalupe and her friend Bl. Juan Diego are honored. Dec. 12 marks the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe in the Catholic Church. It dates to 1531 when Catholics believe the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to an Aztec peasant at a hill called Tepeyac in Mexico City. Here are activities to help parents teach children about this holiday and its part in Mexican heritage. Our Lady of Guadalupe Activities for Parents and Children
