Seeing as I and probably others don't know (and do forgive our ignorance), but what is Cinco De Mayo?

Educate us :)

Cinco De Mayo=5th of May

That is the day Mexico won its independence from Spain after nearly three centuries of Spanish rule.

...Mostly an excuse for US Americans to get drunk, actually. Until recently, they hardly even celebrated it in Mexico.

Come to think of it, what holiday ISN'T an excuse to get drunk?:D

Correct me if I'm wrong (not sure if it's a holiday) but what about Lent? :D

Lent is some sort of Christain thing...but I don't really know what it is.  I don't attend church too often nor am I terribly church going religious (which doesn't mean im not religious either).

I think that during Lent, Christian people give up certain things that they like. I'm not sure though cuz I'm not Christian. Anybody wanna help out?

Catholocism is a form of Christianity, along with Lutherans, Baptists, Presbyterians (Jehovah's Witnesses are not a religion, though they say they are). I'm a dedicated Lutheran. Lent is a fully Christian holiday that remembers the the last days of Jesus Christ, his suffering and his death.

We give up things during this season of church because Jesus gave up his life willfully for us.

Hope this helps.
