Celebrating the Virgin Mary (4th Event Attended)

Posted by: sorandomweirdchick on: December 13, 2009

Once again it is the time of the year when we celebrate the Virgin Mary. You ask why we celebrate her on the month of December. Well we celebrate her in December as a giving thanks to her for giving birth to baby Jesus. Threw the month of December there is various masses in which they pray and sing to her. People take her lots of flowers and place them on her altar. There is also a group of people which dance for he. They are called the Danza. They usually dress in huaraches; they have this kind of costume that has lots of bells on it so that when they move they make music. They also wear a cap in their heads which is filled with colorful feathers on top. Then as they move around they shake the maracas that are held in their hands. They dance to the beat of the drums. There are different groups that include adults, men, women, and teenagers individually and mixed together. This year there were three different groups. The first group was mixed with men and women of all ages. The second group had only women and the third group was pure men. I really love attending this event every year, I just love seen them dance. Ever since I was little I wanted to join such a group like this but I never really went for it. My best friend, Alberto has been doing this since he was little. Next year for sure I will be joining them and finally fulfilling my dream of dancing for the Virgin Mary.
