Cinco De Mayo - Celebrating Mexican Heritage
Introduction
Welcome to the official Cinco De Mayo celebration page hosted by River Of Life Assemblies Int'l, a leading organization in the field of community and society, specifically focused on faith and beliefs. Our annual event aims to honor and commemorate the rich Mexican heritage, embracing the cultural significance and historical background of this joyous occasion.
The History of Cinco De Mayo
Cinco De Mayo, meaning "Fifth of May" in Spanish, commemorates the Mexican Army's victory over the French Empire at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. Though often misunderstood as Mexico's Independence Day, which falls on September 16, Cinco De Mayo represents a significant moment in Mexican history and serves as a symbol of courage, unity, and resilience.
