Interestingly, many Christians, particularly Black Christians, are often unaware of the true origins of the December global celebration. Previously, the celebration was variably scheduled in January, March, April, May, or September, reflecting uncertainty about the actual birthdate of Jesus.
The holidays we observe today have their roots in sacred days from ancient Kemetic or what is popularly known as Egyptian culture, where these occasions were timed with celestial events such as the alignment of stars, constellations, and the sun’s position relative to Earth.

The colonial education narrative has consistently taught, and still teaches, Africans that their ancestors relied solely on oral traditions to transmit knowledge and memory. Sadly, Africans in the so-called West, Central, East, and Southern African regions are unaware of writing systems in these parts of Africa.

Juan Correa is another important character in Mexican art history:
“The prestigious Mexican painter Juan Correa (1646-1716) (…) He was the grandson of Juan Correa, from Villa de Albacete and Juana María, born in Cádiz, who emigrated to New Spain. His father, the well-known surgeon Juan Correa, and his mother, Pascuala de Santoyo, were born there, a free black woman who, before marrying the doctor, had four illegitimate children as a slave, by a gentleman from Santiago named Alonso de Santoyo. When he died, he left her a considerable fortune that served to buy the freedom of the family.
But the painter's ethnicity, which was recorded in several documents in which he is called "pardo", that is, mulatto, did not keep him from a brilliant career.
Among his great contributions stands out the incorporation of little angels from New Spain, that is, dark or "broken in color", as it was said, with which he wanted to plastically and publicly express the spiritual equality of the human condition, becoming a characteristic hallmark of his work.”
He was probably the first painter in the entire continent, to incorporate angels with darker skin in religious paintings. It may not sound like much, but for the time it was very revolutionary.
His painting "El niño Jesús con ángeles músicos" shows a mulatto angel. My Mexican art teacher told us that the restorers, over time, have been lightening the skin of the little mulatto angel. Saludos desde México!

Enslaved this enslaved that, have you Anglos ever thought to stop and read the reason as to how we became Mexicans in the first place? It’s because we the people of Africanos indigenous mestizos and criollo people of Mexico were liberated as Mexicans and not slaves and servants of the Spanish viceroyalty all Mexicans were essentially considered and treated with basic rights to own their own land and have their own things after independence in 1821 from Spain 🇪🇸

It's nice to see the wealth of information explained by well documented videos such as this one. I met a couple from Mexico many years ago living in the USA. And the man's wife clearly appeared to have an afro. She simply stated that she was of Native American descent within Mexico and had no African heritage within her. I now understand how difficult it continues to be for some individuals admit any African heritage from places like Mexico and similar countries because of how rampant racism truly is not only in the USA, Canada and other places throughout the Americas. I've noticed that a lot of people living in the USA originally from Mexico, the Caribbean, Central & South America have the convenience of changing their race simply by the culture they're from. I'm not saying it may be all that right, but I can't say that they're all wrong too. This is what racism truly does, it messes with the psyche of a lot of people and makes certain people hate a few things about their ancestry.
