Nicolás García Tolentino

This is the name of a boy hurt by the authorities some time ago in Chilpancingo. I took it from a Mexican newspaper.

La Jornada Guerrero

Very likely his mother is a single mother. Because September 10 is San Nicolás Tolentino's day. I was born that day, my parents didn't follow the catholic tradition of given names equal to birth names. Here we say, "día de tu Santo", for birthday, because many people do follow the tradition.

You can read the article in Spanish above, about the single mother whose house was destroyed by the authorities the other night, as I reported in a previous post.
