EkoHotBlog reports that Victor Hugo Sosa, the mayor of San Pedro Huamelula, a town in southern Mexico, has married a female crocodile in a traditional rite to bring good fortune to his people.
This online news platform understands that the wedding ceremony is a way for the communities to seek blessings for rain, crop germination, peace, and harmony.
The reptile, a caiman, represents the “princess girl” in local lore.
“I accept responsibility because we love each other. That is what is important. You can’t have a marriage without love… I yield to marriage with the princess girl,” Sosa said.
This marriage ritual has been practiced for 230 years to commemorate the peace between the Chontal and Huave Indigenous groups. The mayor, embodying the Chontal king, weds the reptile, symbolising the union of the two cultures.
The wedding ceremony allows the communities to connect with earth and seek blessings for rain, crop germination, and harmony.
“The wedding allows the sides to link with what is the emblem of Mother Earth, asking the all-powerful for rain, the germination of the seed, all those things that are peace and harmony for the Chontal man,” Jaime Zarate, chronicler of San Pedro Huamelula, explained.
