Even though the Mexican government has been unsupportive of religion since the revolution, most of the population has found a religion anyway. The most common symbol of the church has been the dark-skinned, Virgin of Guadeloupe since 1951. Religion is very important to the people here. They take their customs and traditions very seriously. The village people wear simple clothing that goes along with their religion and the climate.
Clothing is usually homemade.
Men wear plain cotton shirts, trousers, leather sandals, and sombreros. Very birght, happy, and colorful clothing is worn to the fiestas. Soccer is the most popular sport in Mexico. Baseball comes in second but not without a close margin. These are some of the same sports played right here in America.
