So, my question is: What is the Party of the Virgin Mary called in Spanish? Is it: Fiesta de la Mercè

After we answer that: What is the party all about (why do you celebrate it)? What goes on there? What day is it on?

Add anything else you think I might find interesting. I found out about the party from my Mexican friends next door to the shop, but he just called it La Fiesta de la Virgin Mary. I can't find that online. He said it was the biggest party celebrated by Mexicans, is this true?

Only thing I know about the Virgin Mary and a "party" - is the celebration that hispanics with a catholic background celebrate in December. I think it lasts a week. People pray to her, while making some bomb ass mexican food in the process. Before my parents "converted" to christianity they would celebrate this shit. From what I remember there wasn't any alcohol involved.

So, to answer your retarded ass questions:

1. People eat, and celebrate Mary's role in the whole giving birth to Jesus 'n shit. How she was a virgin, and gave birth to a dude who walked on water and cured the blind.

2. Mary's birthday is on the 12th of December so I think this shit goes down from the 5th-12th of December. I THINK!
