On Wednesday, actress Salma Hayek was all too pleased to celebrate a meaningful Mexican holiday with her fans on Instagram. On May 5, 1862, the Mexican Army defeated the French in the First Battle of Puebla during the Franco-Mexican war.

Since then, the Mexicans have been celebrating "Cinco de Mayo," which translates to May 5, every year. Hayek, a Mexican-American, was not left out in this year's celebrations.

She shared a picture showing as she dazzled in an all-black outfit. In the snap, the "Frida" actress posed behind a dining table that was fabulously decorated.

Hayek spread her arms out wide and closed her eyes as she pushed her head back as though she was saying a prayer to God. In the post's caption, she wrote:
