  2. My favorite holiday in Nicaragua is the "La griteria immaculate" that all Christians celebrate every December 7th. I love them because that day is the first day of the month of December that my whole family meets to go sing to other houses and also in my grandmother's house, in my family it's a tradition to celebrate it every year and it's something cheerful for me.

    1. I see what you mean. However, since I was born and raised in Granada, I never went out to do "La Gritería", simply because there is no "Gritería" in Granada :(

    2. My fathers never let me go to " Gritar" because it was against of "my religion" people who are "evangelica" can't eat the candies that you get in la purísima.

  4. my favorite holiday is independence day, I feel a very special date for Nicaraguans where we feel identified with the history of our country and enjoy different celebrations in the country, like patriotic parades, fairs where we can enjoy typical Nicaraguan food, etc.

  6. I think there is no problem to celebrate one costume from the other countries but we shouldn’t make it bigger or expose more important than our traditional costume.

  9. My favorite holiday is Santo Domingo de Guzmán, i love to see the people who paint their body in black and they dance to the saint, also the set of firework that means they are paying promises, this happen when the saint enters to Managua in a parade that people usually receive on the principal streets.

    1. I tried to participate in Santo Domingo de Guzmán, and i was wearing a nice white dress and someone throw me black paint. I won't try to participate again.
      It could be bad luck.

  10. My favorite holidays in Nicaragua are September 14 and 15, because it commemorates the battle of San Jacinto and the independence of our country, with many national heroes like Andres Castro, who wanted a free Nicaragua, because of this the Nicaraguans take these days to celebrate and have a good time with family or friends.

  11. My favorite holiday is "Agüizotes" people celebrated their ancestor o relative member who have died. It takes places on the last fridays of October. People dress like ghosts and using masks, dance in the streets with their children. It is a funny experience and all should try it
