Latino feast,
divine joy!

The stereotype
Latinos
are
fun-loving,
partying
people

The fact:
Latinos love to
"throw the house out of the window"
to celebrate key moments in people's life.

But...
Why do they spend so much energy
and money
"partying"?


The background...
Flor y Canto
Flower and song

In Xochitl In Cucatl
Poetry, art, music, dance, joy, beauty...
those things that bring out the best of us;
that is how we connect with the divine.

The spirituality...

Because...

In God's home (heaven),
songs never cease,
and flowers never wither.
Nezahualcóyotl's Song
Celebrate today
what is waiting for us
in heaven!

Do not let your hearts
be trouble.
In my father's house
are many rooms.
John 14:1-2
