The parish priest of Dolores whose Grito de Independencia from his church bell tower on September 16, 1810 launched the Mexican War of Independence is celebrated each year by every Mexican president ringing a bell and shouting his call to arms from the balcony of the National Palace. The Grito ceremony β Mexico's most significant annual national ritual β reenacts the moment of Mexican national birth.
