A Dinner to Learn About the Cristero War
The Cristero War was an armed conflict that took place in Mexico between 1926 and 1929, sparked by tensions between the government and various sectors of the Catholic Church following the implementation of measures that limited the Church’s participation in public life.
The conflict was particularly intense in Jalisco and other states in the central and western parts of the country, where thousands of people took up arms under the slogan “Long live Christ the King!” The conflict had a profound social, political, and religious impact that still forms part of the region’s historical memory.
Through this experience, Alejandro Rosas, a writer and popularizer of Mexican history, will share context, anecdotes, and insights to help you better understand this historical episode. Add this event to your list of things to do in September.
