La ciudad de Guanajuato es conocida como Patrimonio Histórico no sólo de la nación mexicana, sino de Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la Organización de las Naciones Unidas.

Es bien sabido en México que buscas una ciudad colonial con vida cultural, la respuesta es Guanajuato, pues casi cualquier fin de semana hay algo que disfrutar, desde competencias por sus callejones ya sea en Motocicletas o en Bicicletas, o bien, Maratones, Hasta Concursos de Altares, Conciertos, Galerías, Museos, Ferias y Festivales. La ciudad viva en folclor por sus callejoneadas con la música de las Estudiantinas, las leyendas y su antigua alegre vida.

No hay un fin de semana en que la ciudad no ofrezca algo memorable; y este viernes 22 de marzo no es la excepción, pues se celebra el Día de las Flores.

La festividad empieza el jueves por la tarde cuando los vendedores de flores se instalan en el Jardín de la Unión, para que al llegar el viernes la ciudad ya se alcance a colorear.

Además, desde el mismo jueves por la tarde vemos como se empiezan a regalar flores y ramos de flores entre novios y pretendientes, es un día en que el amor va por la ciudad en forma de color. Cuentan que hace varias décadas en Guanajuato, como en otros lugares de México hombres y mujeres paseaban por la plaza, yendo los hombres en una dirección y las mujeres a otra dirección, de manera que cuando un hombre se encontraba con una mujer por la que sentía gusto y atracción le regalaba una flor en declaración, muestra de su afecto. En Guanajuato los caballeros así comenzaban el cortejo en el Jardín de la Unión, así que en este día de las flores, las conquistas se unen a las alabanzas religiosas. 

La tradición de devoción a la Virgen de los Dolores, data desde el siglo XVIII cuando los mineros de la ciudad de Guanajuato, ciudad ubicada en un enclave montañoso rodeada de minas de oro y plata, así como piedras semi preciosas como cuarzo, también canteras azules que decoran las construcciones de la ciudad.

En el Día de las Flores la ciudad se viste de colores con desfiles que iluminan de primavera la ciudad con sus flores ya sean naturales, de hojas de maíz o de papel, adornos colgados por las calles. Esta fiesta es llevada por los católicos para honrar a María Madre de Dios, Reina del Cielo en su representación como Virgen de los Dolores.

Habrá Danzas, Bailes, Desfiles y Concursos del Altares a la Virgen de los Dolores. Este viernes Día de las Flores, es como la ciudad de Guanajuato se organiza para darle fortaleza a la Virgen antes de que enfrente el dolor más grande para una madre: la pérdida de su hijo por el sacrificio en la cruz.

El Viernes de Dolores da inicio a los Días Santos, pues el domingo que le sigue es conocido como el Domingo de Ramos, cuando Jesús entra a Jerusalén para cumplir con su mandato como Cristo. De manera que estos días que vienen se conmemoran las fechas más importantes para los católicos: Pasión, Muerte y Resurrección de Cristo.

Flowers' Day in Guanajuato

The city of Guanajuato is known as Historical Heritage not only of the Mexican nation, but also as a World Heritage Site by the United Nations Organization.

It is well known in Mexico that if you are looking for a colonial city with cultural life, the answer is Guanajuato, because almost any weekend there is something to enjoy, from competitions through its alleys either on Motorcycles or Bicycles, or Marathons, Even Altar Competitions, Concerts, Galleries, Museums, Fairs and Festivals. The city lived in folklore through its alleys with the musicians that walk with their instruments singing and telling legends, Guanajuato and its old happy life.

There isn’t a weekend when the city doesn’t offer something memorable; and this Friday, March 22, is no exception, as Flower Day is celebrated.

The festivity begins on Thursday afternoon when the flower sellers set up their booths in the Jardín de la Unión, so that by Friday the city can begin to color.

Furthermore, from Thursday afternoon we see how flowers and bouquets begin to be given between bride and groom, boyfriends to girlfriends and suitors, it is a day when love travels through the city in the form of color. They say that several decades ago in Guanajuato, as in other places in Mexico, men and women walked through the plaza, the men going in one direction and the women in another direction, so that when a man met a woman who he felt attracted to, gave her a flower as a declaration, a sign of his affection. In Guanajuato the gentlemen thus began the procession in the Garden of the Union.

The tradition of devotion to the Virgin of Sorrows dates back to the 18th century when the miners of the city of Guanajuato, a city located in a mountainous enclave surrounded by gold and silver mines, as well as semi-precious stones such as quartz, also blue quarries that decorate the buildings of the city.

On Flower Day, the city dresses up in colors with parades that illuminate the city in spring with its flowers, whether natural, corn husks or paper, decorations hung along the streets. This festival is celebrated by Catholics to honor Mary Mother of God, Queen of Heaven in the representation of her as Virgin of Sorrows.

There will be Dances, Dances, Parades and Contests of the Altars to the Virgin of Sorrows. This Friday, Flower Day, is how the city of Guanajuato organizes to give strength to the Virgin before she faces the greatest pain for a mother: the loss of her son through sacrifice on the cross.

The Friday of Sorrows begins the Holy Days, since the Sunday that follows is known as Palm Sunday, when Jesus enters Jerusalem to fulfill his mandate as Christ. So, these coming days commemorate the most important dates for Catholics: Passion, Death and Resurrection of Christ.
