5 Mexican Kings were murdered.
Oh, happy little question! Cinco de Mayo is actually celebrated in Mexico, not the Dominican Republic. It commemorates the Mexican army's victory over the French at the Battle of Puebla in 1862. Each country has its own special celebrations and traditions, like painting happy little flags and dancing to festive music.
Cinco de Mayo commemorates the Mexican army's victory over the French at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. The battle occurred in the city of Puebla, Mexico.
If you are asking how long cinco de mayo lasts, the answer is 24 hours, since it is the calendar day of May 5. Cinco de mayo is the anniversary of the Battle of Puebla, and that took place in 1862; so if you are asking how long ago the event was, that would be (as of this year, 2014) 152 years ago. This day as a celebration of Spanish American--and in particular, Mexican--culture is mostly something obsrved in the United States. In Mexico itself, 16 de septiembre gets much more attention.
Cinco De Mayo (Spanish for "Fifth of May") is celebrated for two reasons:In Mexico, it commemorates the Mexican army's victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. It has special importance at the city of Puebla, where the actual battle took place.In locations outside of Mexico, those with Mexican heritage celebrate it to remember their culture and their pride in it; specially on the United States.
Each character is as old as the country that they represent.
Other than the fact that they are all holidays, practically nothing. Cinco de Maya is day of the dead, St. Patrick's Day is a (Catholic?) holiday and Kwanzaa is non-denominational so they don't have much to do with each other.
It means "one in each five".
The war in which the Battle of Puebla was fought was the French-Mexican War. The unlikely Mexican victory is celebrated on the anniversary of the May 5, 1862 each year.
I have five teeth in each hand.
describe each of the characters and their relationship with one another?
Mayo and Cork are both large counties. So it depends on where in each you are travelling between. They are at least 200 kilometres or 125 miles apart.
