Most Mexicans are Catholic, so churches, saints’ days, and family rituals around baptisms, confirmations, weddings, and funerals are widely respected, and visitors should dress modestly and keep voices low in active places of worship. In many towns, especially during
Holy Week and the
Day of the Dead, religious observances blend with local tradition, so processions, altars, and candlelit gatherings may be central to community life even for people who are not especially observant.
