墨西哥好去處－Vamos a Oaxaca (II)

 Oaxaca的熱鬧聖誕節和蘿蔔之夜 La Noche de Rábanos




Exhibition at the Zocalo 
The main square is full of different people to come appreciating the sculptures made by Radishes.  In the form of Jesus with a cross, their saint Guadalupe, or even a dragon!
It is really a good chance to appreciate the amazing art of the local people.  The winners are awarded cash prizes and certificates, and usually it is the whole families joining their efforts during this event.
Zocalo廣場的展覽
下午不同的人擁擠在廣場，來看由蘿蔔製成的雕塑 －背著十字架的耶穌，他們的聖母Guadalupe，甚至是龍！
這實在是一個很好的機會欣賞到當地人的藝術；獲勝者可得到獎金和證書，通常是整個家庭一起努力得到的成果。

At Christmas, there will be parade of decorated cars starting from different churches and arriving in Zocalo.  With music, hymns, and some big doll of special character, the parade is really a fun to watch.  The main street is often crowded with people and kids who are waiting eagerly for the give out candies from the parading team.
在聖誕節，更會有花車遊行，從不同的教會出發到Zocalo，在前後總是跟著音樂，聖詩隊和一些兩個人高的大娃娃，實在是有趣。主要街道滿是大人們和孩子們，他們都正等待遊行隊伍派發糖果。

晚上人們會放煙火 Fireworks on sale!
