On May 3, Holy Cross Day is celebrated, a significant event for construction workers in various countries, including Mexico. This day is not only a religious event, but also a cultural one, dating back to traditions that date back to the time of the Conquest of Mexico. Thus, the sense of humor of the compatriots was immediate and they filled the networks with memes.

The festivities involve processions, parties, dances and typical foods, marking a moment of unity and celebration between the communities and the masons, who are seen as the main protagonists of these celebrations.

The origin of this date is linked to Christian history, beginning in Jerusalem and associated with the cross on which Jesus Christ was crucified. Constantine I, emperor of Rome, played a crucial role in the establishment of this day, after a revelation that led him to victory in the battle against Maxentius, using a cross as an emblem.

Saint Helena, mother of Constantine, is also a central figure in history, as she is said to have discovered the true cross of Christ in Jerusalem in the year 326, after performing a miracle with one of the three crosses she found. Since then, the Day of the Holy Cross has been transformed into a holiday that celebrates the mystery of redemption and the sacrifice of Jesus.

In Mexico, this commemoration takes on a particular nuance when it is adopted by bricklayers as their patron saint’s holiday. During this day, it is common to bless decorated crosses at construction sites, special religious ceremonies, and community activities that include everything from games to the participation of mariachis, symbolizing protection and gratitude for the work done.
