During the months of July to September in the central
region of the Mexican State of Veracruz, patron saints are celebrated in folkloric
dances whose origins can be traced back to colonial Mexico and Spanish
influences. In pre-Hispanic times various indigenous peoples settled in Veracruz
and over thousands of years their iden4ty based on the symbolic richness of
their culture arose. The clown expresses
joy, but with a touch of solemnity. He wears red piping in his
costume to compliment the flowers from the altar of St Mary Magdalene, the
patron saint of the town, whose feast day is celebrated in July.
