Grito de Dolores, ( English: “Cry of Dolores”) battle cry of the Mexican War of Independence from Spain, first uttered by Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, parish priest of Dolores (now Dolores Hidalgo, Guanajuato state).  (britannica.com)

In the early hours of September 16, 1810, father Hidalgo, accompanied by several conspirators –Iganacio Allende, Doña Josefa Ortiz de Domínguez-   rang the bell of his little church, calling everyone to fight for liberty.  This was the beginning of the Independence War, which lasted 10 years. (inside-mexico.com)
El Grito, every 16th of September, is the day Mexicans all over the world celebrate Mexico’s independence from Spanish rule. Mexican’s in Sacramento are no different!
