Día de la Samaratina - Samaritan day

Samaritan Day (Día de la Samaritana) is a custom in Oaxaca City celebrated on the fourth Friday in Lent. Refreshments are offered to passersby.

The tradition began in the churches, and today businesses, schools and government offices offer traditional fruit drinks, including horchata, jamaica, tamarindo and local favorite chilacayota .

Students of the Instituto Cultural Oaxaca continue with this tradition as part of its Spanish Language Immersion. During this day we prepared fresh water of Horchata, Chilacayota and Mango with Basil.
