Constitution Day

**Constitution Day in Mexico** (Día de la Constitución) is a national holiday celebrated on **February 5th** each year. It commemorates the promulgation of Mexico's current constitution, which was adopted on February 5, 1917, following the Mexican Revolution. This historic document, known as the **Constitution of 1917**, established significant reforms, including land redistribution, labor rights, and the separation of church and state, shaping modern Mexico. The day is marked by official ceremonies, parades, and educational events highlighting the importance of the constitution and its role in Mexican democracy. Schools, government offices, and many businesses are closed, allowing citizens to reflect on the nation's history and the principles of justice, equality, and freedom enshrined in the constitution. Constitution Day is a time for Mexicans to honor their legal framework and celebrate the progress made since its adoption.
