La fiesta de cristo rey

the last feast of the liturgical year is also of great meaning for Hispanics, particularly of Mexican heritage, la fiesta de cristo rey (the feast of Christ the king). During the religious persecution in mexico, when many persons came looking for safety to the united states, those who were killed died shouting ¡viva cristo rey! (long live Christ the king!). this feast is still celebrated in new mexico on the last Sunday of October.
