Perhaps it is because I have been living out in the boonies and first time in Chapala at this time of the year!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmh Posted October 4, 2020 Report Share Posted October 4, 2020 Every day is a different saint´s day.. so it is easy not to know.. My saint´s day is in July but growing up it was on the 8th or october... so it can be a little confusing if you do not have a calender with the saints showing up on the days...In France your saint´s day in important and we used to celebrate the saint days at the same level as the birthday and in Greece the saint´s day is even more important.. in Mexico the saints of the barrios are important but each person´s individual day is not so important... differnt places different customs.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joco69 Posted October 4, 2020 Report Share Posted October 4, 2020 Its nice to see life to go back to almost normal, again time for celebrations which make Mexico so much fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
