Christmas in Mexico

On Christmas Eve in Santiago Tuxtla (Veracruz) everybody assembles in the Zocalo for an evening of dancing, which include the huapangs to the accompaniment of a Jarocho band. In Quiroga (Michoacan) villagers present some Nativity plays (Pastorales) in churches on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Even in the capital, Mexico City, a festive air with the famed Zocalo a blaze (which is sometimes called the Plaza de la Constitution) has a sea of colourful lights in this ancient square.

The Cuetlaxochitl or better known as the Poinsettia is known as the Christmas flower because of its beautiful red colour and it mainly blooms in December. In most countries it is known as the Poinsettia after the former US Ambassador to Mexico (Joel R. Poinset) liked it so much he named it and sent it to the USA. Later it was sent to Europe.
