National Empanada Day is observed each year on the second Sunday of May. It is celebrated with a lot of pomp and pageantry. The celebration starts with the Mexican Flag being hoisted to the highest point in the city and a national ceremony being held to dedicate the day. On this day Mexican immigrants from various regions of Mexico to visit the place to celebrate and give thanks for the fruits of their hard work and the contribution they have made to the nation.
As we all know, the national day is a tribute paid to the immigrants who have contributed to the economic and cultural life of the nation. This celebration is also meant to acknowledge the contributions of the women, which form the bulk of the workforce in the agricultural sector of the economy. In fact, many local festivals are also held on this day. For instance, local schools organize regional parades and women fairs.
Historically, empanadas, or breads made from corn were always part of celebrations. However, over time, as the Spanish colonizers came to dominate the area, these foods were changed to desserts. The first changes happened to the empanada or the corn cake, when the Spaniards arrived. They changed it into an open-faced cake which had several layers. Later on, the tradition was changed and the cake was baked in an oven. The traditional cake still exists but now it is served on tables, as it is in the tourist areas.
Historically, empanadas were created to feed the workers on National Empanada Day. The workers would come in to the bakeries early in the morning and enjoy a breakfast of homemade cakes and pastries. After the breakfast was over, they would be served some typical Mexican dishes such as quesadillas and quenches. The worker would then return to their workplace. During the afternoon, they would be able to enjoy the desserts which were left for them by the good-for-the-employees employees. This tradition continued through the years until the workers’ union organized and the cakes were no longer given to the workers during the working day.
In Mexico, empanadas are considered to be a symbol of hospitality. They are seen as a celebration of a hard day’s work done by an employee. The cake is an important part of the Mexican culture. A visit to a traditional Mexican bakery is a fun-filled day for young and old alike. On this day, you can enjoy authentic Mexican desserts and even try your hand at creating your own empanadas.
