Hispanic Heritage

January 13,2010





My name is Steven Ugalde.And I'm 12 years old I was born in Austin ,Texas.I only live with my mom.She is Mexican and Spaniard.And my dad is Cuban and Mexican.He was born in Brownsville and my mom was born in Gonzalez,Texas.I'm proud to be Mexican and Cuban and Spaniard.

My Hispanic heritage is three types of heritages I'm Cuban,Mexican,Spaniard.I never really celebrate any of the Mexican Cuban celebrations.I celebrate one thing that is a Spanish celebration it is the holiday of the three kings.But even though that I'm Mexican than Spanish we still celebrate the three kings.It is a Christian feast day that celebrates the revelation of God made Man in the person of Jesus Christ. It falls on January 6th. Or in many countries, on the Sunday that falls between January 2nd and January 8th.Since the Calendar, which is followed by some Eastern Churches, is at present 13 days behind the Calendar and the revised Calendar. January in that calendar corresponds at present to 19th of January in what is the civil.It is calendar in most countries of the west. On this feast, Western Christians do the visitation of the Biblical to Baby Jesus. His dedication to the Eastern Christians countries. The baptism of Jesus in the Jordan River, seen as his dedication to the world as the Son of God. It is also called Theophany especially by Eastern Christians.The types of food we eat chicken,rice,cookies and this special punch that is called tea.We play games and dance and play songs and we just have a blast my cousins and I play tag and we play with my uncles motorcycle.


But the one thing that i hate in this world is that we are separated by culture and i wish that we could be the same but made us different for a reason it is what makes us special in our own way by beening different so I wish that peace is continues on this planet I call home p.s earth too.
