Ch. 15: religion in early modern societies

Christianity in Hispanic culture are to be seen very important and part of everyone’s life. Churches were built all over regions and precolonial towns. Saints are still seen as parents of the local community and are celebrated in households and feasts. I chose this topic to talk about because how relevant it still is today. My family still takes prayer and religion seriously when celebrating saints and historical religious days, like Jesus Christ being born. One of my favorite days to celebrate is the Virgin of Guadalupe where we all gather in our local church and celebrate her by singing, giving her roses and candles, and sharing her most important stories. Even going to Mexico for vacation, going to church is taken seriously. The churches are a way for the community to come together and continue their rituals.
