Summary

Description
Español: Las fiestas principales de este ciclo se dedican básicamente a celebrar a los santos patronos, a conmemorar las fechas más relevantes de la Pascua de Navidad y a honrar a la Virgen María, una de las divinidades católicas más veneradas en la región (bajo las advocaciones de Guadalupe o la Virgen de Loreto). Durante este período, una sociedad ceremonial destaca por su activa participación en las fiestas: se trata de los matachines, los danzantes que dedican sus actuaciones a la Virgen.

To the rhythm of the drum and marking the sound with each “step”, the crowd stands out multicolored plumes, and that's where the dancers are, dancing fervently at the foot of the temple.
