Cinco de Mayo--"fifth of May" in Spanish--celebrates the Mexican victory at the Battle of Pueblo. It's not the Mexican independence day though it sounds like the U.S. 4th of July. My Latino friends tell me Cinco de Mayo isn't as big in Mexico as in the U.S. Latinos make up a huge portion of the Catholic church. Our new Pope Francis hails from Argentina (hi @pontifex --love you--from @marilisa616) Our beloved Lady of Guadalupe appeared in Mexico. Definitely time for us Catholics need to get in touch with our Spanish, Mexican, South and Central American roots. So how about a fiesta?
