Mexico Independence Day 2021

Google Dooles 16.09.2021 15:30  Date: September 16, 2021 Today’s Doodle, illustrated by Mexico-based guest artist , depicts a collection of elements symbolizing Mexico’s rich, cultural heritage in honor of its Independence Day. This year’s holiday holds special significance for the international Mexican community as it commemorates the 200th anniversary of the nation’s step toward independence—officially declared on September 27, 1821. On the left of the Doodle artwork, a folklórico dancer is dressed in the emblematic red, green, and white of the Mexican flag. A common meal prepared to celebrate this holiday is pozole, a spiced soup traditionally made with hominy and pork that is depicted in the red bowl with radishes and lime. In the center, the artwork recreates a bell that rang before El Grito de la Independencia , a famous speech considered the spark of the Mexican independence movement. A sombrero follows with a handwoven rebozo scarf, next to a cactus standing tall. On the far right of the artwork, an Indigenous musician blows into a conch shell—a scene similar to an image found in the ancient Aztec Codex Magliabechi—filling the air with the sounds of celebration. Happy Independence Day, Mexico! Location: Tags: , , , , ,
