The holiday has caught the imagination of Mexicans and other Latinos around the world, particularly those living in United States

Mexicans across the country and throughout the world have been celebrating the Cinco de Mayo - the fifth of May.

The holiday commemorates the day in 1862 when the Mexican army defeated a larger and better equipped invading French army.

Although it is a fairly low-key holiday in Mexico, in the U.S. it has become a time to celebrate Mexican heritage and culture.
