Summary[edit]

Description
English: The Fiesta de la Santa Cruz, which takes place every year from the 12th to the 15th September in Querétaro, Mexico, is a syncretistic religious celebration with processions and dances and many thousands of active participants from the entire region. Central location of the celebration is the church of La Santa Cruz (Holy Cross), the oldest Christian temple in Querétaro and site of a mythic battle between christianised and traditional tribes (1531). Originally, the dancers were exclusively male, but today, there is no such restriction any more and the majority appear to be women.
