A folk festival in memory of good people: Mexican bread festival?

Mexico, a North American country, is one of the ancient civilization centers of Indians in the American continent. Maya culture, Tortek culture and Aztec culture created by Mexican Indians are shining in the history of human civilization. Then today's World Festival Encyclopedia will introduce a Mexican folk festival with the theme of commending good people and deeds: Mexican Bread Festival.

Bread Festival is a grand folk festival in Mexico, also called San Antonio Festival. This is a festival set up by farmers and herdsmen in Michoacá n and Guerrero in Mexico to commemorate those who have done good things for the local people and are respected by people. The commended figures are called "festival gods" and are selected by representatives of villages and pastures through consultation.

Bread Festival is held once a year, and the date is not fixed. It is usually the day when the winner is born. For example, the Bread Festival held on March 5th, 1982 was held for Gaia, a female teacher born on March 5th. Gaia founded a rural primary school in rural pastoral areas, where she taught children of farmers and herdsmen. She has made great achievements in rural education and is widely loved and respected by local farmers and herdsmen, so she was elected as the "festival god" of this bread festival.

On the eve of Bread Festival, there was a busy scene everywhere. Women are busy preparing all kinds of delicious cakes and delicious things, such as fried bagels, delicious Michoacan biscuits, traditional barbecue, fried rolls made of pork tenderloin and pepper, and the famous banana leaf corn zongzi, which are all necessary "sacrifices" for the bread festival. Some men are killing pigs and sheep, and some are setting a festival "sacrificial table". Young men and women are stepping up their practice of singing and dancing and rehearsing accompaniment music.

During the festival, all the villages and pastures are filled with festive atmosphere, and the songs of singing teams composed of men, women and children and the cheerful accompaniment of guitars can be heard far away. When you approach; What catches your eye is the scene where people dressed in red and green clothes indulge in singing and dancing. Those guitarists danced more beautifully at the music scene.

There is a long row of tables in the middle of the dance floor. The desktop is covered with a polished tablecloth woven by women's skillful hands. There are all kinds of delicious snacks on it, and all kinds of natural flowers are decorated around it. It is really colorful and full of weather. After dancing for a period of time, people share the fruits of the festival with their revered "Festival God". After people sit around the table and eat sacrifices, they enter the most exciting moment-the climax of the festival.

Pairs of women and children carrying baskets full of bread walked out of the crowd and came to the center of the dance floor. One by one, the children put bagels in baskets around Jie Shen's neck until her chest was covered with stripes. This bagel is specially made, which symbolizes the loyalty and love of pure farmers and herdsmen to their admirers. For this reason, people call this festival "Bread Festival".

After the ceremony, the festival is over. At this time, "Jie Shen" took the bagels off his neck and chest one by one and put them in a big gift box, then put some candy balls made of chocolate in the box, and then the female representative sent the gift box to the place designated by "Jie Shen", which is usually the location of his favorite people and relatives.
