Episode 34 - The Real Cinco de Mayo

- Tune in every Monday for a new episode of "The Saints That Serve Podcast" -

Why do so many celebrate Cinco de Mayo without knowing its true meaning? In this episode, we dive into the real story behind the 1862 Battle of Puebla, where a small Mexican force defeated a much larger French army. We explore how this lesser-known Mexican holiday became a popular celebration in the U.S., shaped by decades of media and marketing.

We also share our tradition of watching Nacho Libre—the hilarious Jack Black film inspired by a real priest who wrestled to support his orphanage—and explore its surprising religious themes. Plus, we take a mysterious turn with a look at the Chupacabra legend and the science behind the sightings.

Through it all, we reflect on how culture, history, and mystery connect to a deeper truth: that while empires fade, God’s kingdom stands forever.
