Spring in Mexico – level 2

28-03-2017 15:00

Mexicans were celebrating the spring equinox. Thousands of them visited the pyramids of Teotihuacan. They are located 40 kilometres from Mexico City.

A visitor to the pyramids said that he was asking for peace and harmony. Many people climbed the Pyramid of the Sun to receive its energy.

People also wore white clothing. They believe that it can help them receive positive energy from the sun.

Difficult words: equinox (the date when the day is as long as the night), climb (go up), receive (get).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
