The Mexican National Anthem, known as "Himno Nacional Mexicano," was officially adopted in 1943, although its music was composed in 1853 by Jaime Nunó and the lyrics were written by Francisco González Bocanegra in 1853. The anthem is a symbol of national pride and unity, often played at public events and ceremonies. The anthem consists of ten stanzas, but only the first and last stanzas are typically sung during official occasions. Its themes celebrate the bravery and sacrifice of those who fought for Mexico's independence and sovereignty, reflecting the country's rich history and cultural identity.
