[2] Venustiano Carranza, President of Mexico, visited San Martín de Hidalgo during the Mexican Revolution in 1916.

The activities of this tradition are carried out in the following way: the neighbors usually light a small fire with ocote branches and firewood, in front of their houses.

While the fire burns down, families and friends gather around the flames for a pleasant evening among talks and savoring, roasted pumpkin seeds, guasanas (cooked tender chickpeas), peanuts, popcorn, and some even roasted meat, listen to music, talk or pray to the Virgin of Guadalupe, since 11 December is the eve of the celebration of this invocation of the most revered Virgin of the Mexican people, and San Martín is no exception.

They build simple "chapels" with palm leaves inside the houses, a few days before Good Friday, every year.

Until 2017, on Holy Wednesday, the "bath of Christ" was held in the Chapel of Calvary, with water, soap and scouring pads.

Then there is a procession to the atrium of the parish of San Martín de Tours, to change the sendals (thin fabrics), for clean ones, actions in charge of men, who represent Joseph of Arimathea, and then the priest proceeds to officiate a mass.

The custom of bathing the images began in 1961, when the town's parish priest was the presbyter Manuel Villagrana Ascencio.

When he was removed, around 1972, these actions ceased, but were resumed in 2001 on the recommendation of the priest Luis Zúñiga; however, in 2016 or 2017 people from the Escuela de Conservación y Restauración de Occidente (ECRO, Western Conservation and Restoration School), in Guadalajara, went to San Martín Hidalgo, analyzed the images and found damage.

On Good Friday, families get up very early to go to the hill or to the banks of the San Martín River, in order to cut branches of ahuehuete, willow, and rockrose, to place them against the back wall from the living room of their houses.

A petate is placed on the floor, as a base, to cover it with alfalfa, chamomile, laurel and rosemary leaves, as well as split bitter oranges and cloves.

As for domestic tourism, they have come from Querétaro, Michoacán, Nayarit, Colima, Puebla, Oaxaca, Mexico City, Sinaloa, Sonora, and other municipalities in Jalisco.
