Reisado

Reisado, also known as Farol or Santa Bárbara, is a traditional Mexican festival that celebrates the Nativity and the arrival of the Three Wise Men. It typically takes place during the Christmas season, involving community processions, singing, dancing, and colorful costumes. Participants often perform choreographed routines, mimicking biblical stories, and carry lanterns or religious symbols. The celebration emphasizes faith, community spirit, and cultural heritage, blending indigenous customs with Roman Catholic traditions. Reisado fosters a sense of shared identity and preserves historical folkloric practices that have been passed down through generations.
