Latin Construction Workers' Day is being celebrated this weekend, April 15. It is meant to coincide, roughly, with the May 3 Feast of the Holy Cross (Dia de la Santa Cruz) -- a holiday celebrated in Mexico as the "Day of the Masons" -- because it was masons (ie, construction workers) who helped St. (H)Elena uncover the true cross in Jerusalem. In Mexico, construction sites get decorated with crosses, then bosses (should!) throw picnics and have fireworks.

Sez the press kit, this is the first time Atlanta will be celebrating the Feast of the Holy Cross.
