Mayor Marries Crocodile for Prosperity and Good Harvest in Mexico
In San Pedro Huamelula, Mexico, the mayor married an alligator on June 30th in a 230-year-old ritual. The ceremony, intended to ensure prosperity and a good harvest, involves binding the alligator’s jaws for safety. The mayor symbolically wed the reptile, adorned in a bridal gown, and shared a dance and kisses with it. This ancient custom is a plea to nature for blessings like ample rainfall and plentiful food.
