Founded on April 22nd, 1519. Following enactment of the 1824 Constitution, the state receives the name of Veracruz, and was officially incorporated as a Free and Sovereign State of Veracruz-Llave, as a result of the name of the first Spanish colony of Villa Rica “Ver(dader)a Cruz”, name established by Hernán Cortés. And in honor of the governor Ignacio de la Llave. Veracruz's climate varies dramatically. It has warm moist areas and throughout the year peaks of the mountains are covered with snow.

Day of the lost childOn December 7th is celebrated on the day of the

missing child. This tradition was born in Tuxpan, and occurred simultaneously in several places. The tradition is based on a biblical passage from the Gospel of Luke indicates that Jesus was 12 years old when they traveled to Jerusalem at the feasts of Easter and at the end the party was left without them knowing, and thinking he was in the camp , they went a day's journey, they returned to Jerusalem, where they found three days later in the temple, sitting among the teachers of the law, where spoke to them and they were astonished at his answers.

This passage from the Catholic tradition is the basis for this custom of lighting candles all over the sidewalk and young children pulling out a pricier yarn made of cardboard, with a candle, simulating find the lost child each year, which has become tradition by religious meaning and symbolism of light.

Indepences day

This celebration is a true celebration of color, where household altars with cempazuchitl flowers and oranges are prepared, the ritual of lighting the candle is used to fumigate and before the altar, tamales and chocolate are a must, with mysticism that live and share our bread, in memory of the dead.

The food is shared with generosity, modesty regardless of home, atole, homemade bread, sweet coconut, papaya and pumpkins with brown sugar it´s prepared. It coexists equally between rich and poor, because in death there is no distinction.
