What religions are practiced in Mexico


Answers:
Mexico has no official religion. However, it is Roman Catholic in its majority: Christmas is a national holiday and during Easter most people leave for vacations. Other Catholic religious days such as January 6 (Epiphany) or December 12 (Our Lady of Guadalupe, saint patron of Mexico) are observed by many people.

Following are some estimates for religion practices in Mexico:
  • Roman Catholic: 88% (98.6 million)
