Happy Cinco de Mayo!
ReplyDeleteCinco de Mayo is a celebration of Mexico winning a battle against the French. France actually established rule for a short time after that before Mexico won full independence, Britian and Spain having pulled out a short time before that battle. I actually think it's very sad that Spain and France war ever at war with Mexico in the first place. War is just not a good way to foster religious and economic goals. We are in the beginning of a period of dangerous oil wars mascarading as culture wars and so I kind of compare that with what Europe did and am saddaned. I am also saddened that like St Patricks Day, Cinco de Mayo has become one big drinking party. Mary sees the earth not as we do in a spirit of nationalsim. How does she see our planet and those of us on it? Does she take sides like war is a football game?!?!
ReplyDeleteI agree that Mary is certainly non-partisan. I think it would be equally adventageous to call on Mary to bless our country for our 4th of July as well.
