Mexicans, as a rule, are deeply tolerant of other religions and lifestyles, and it’s not uncommon for locals to belong to more than one church.
As a result, expats living in Mexico have the freedom to celebrate and embrace their faith without fear of reprisal from others.
Nevertheless, it is predominantly a Catholic culture, a truth evidenced by the sheer number of local holidays, fiestas, pieces of artwork, popular songs, nativity scenes and alters on government property that celebrate Catholicism.
Religious festivities are many, and everyone can enjoy the happenings along with the rest of Mexico without fear of exclusion. In fact, joining-in can better help expats familiarise themselves with Mexican culture.
Expats should note that these festivities can often cause inconveniences and traffic jams, though.
