solajijic Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 http://www.atencionsanmiguel.org/2014/09/26/firing-of-skyrockets-must-be-respected/ This is a good article about the whys and wherefores of the cohetes. The end is the federal law. Although it is a couple years old it does explain how entrenched the tradition is all over Mexico. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainecoons Posted May 4, 2018 Report Share Posted May 4, 2018 The numbers shot off just in San Miguel are shocking, they claim up to 400,000 per year. That is big business, these things aren't cheap. Although the article has a lot of anti-foreigner comment before the end, it is also illustrative about the tradition behind it. Interesting read, thanks for posting it.

CHILLIN Posted May 4, 2018 Report Share Posted May 4, 2018 Here's Mexico City style, featuring the unstoppable Karl Pilkington. The first 4 minutes is Luchadore, but the rest is about fireworks, and the young Mexican gentleman explains its religious context. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2UITdbJJhdM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
