Cuba marks the first anniversary of the death of revolutionary leader Fidel Castro on Saturday followed by municipal elections on Sunday that will usher in a new leader who for the first time in 60 years will not be a Castro brother.

The island will hold a series of remembrances from Saturday through December 4, the day Castro was laid to rest in a cemetery in Santiago de Cuba, where he had launched the Cuban revolution.

Fidel Castro’s death last year on November 25 ushered in a nine days of national mourning. The Cold War icon, who defied U.S. efforts to topple him, died at the age of 90.

By the time he died, Castro had already been largely out of public view for nearly a decade because of ill health. He ceded the presidency to his younger brother, Raul Castro, in 2008 after intestinal troubles nearly killed him in 2006.

State-run media report that galas and vigils will be held around the country this week in honor of Fidel Castro. State television is running archived footage of Fidel Castro and cultural institutions are dedicating their performances to his memory.

During the weeklong events, citizens will also take part in municipal elections. The vote will end with the selection of a new president in late February, after Raul Castro said he would step down at the end of his two consecutive five-year terms.

The transition to new leadership, however, is expected to be gradual as Raul Castro will remain head of the Communist Party, the only legal party in Cuba.

古巴星期六紀(jì)念其革命領(lǐng)袖卡斯特羅去世一周年后，星期天開始舉行市政選舉。古巴60年來將第一次出現(xiàn)一位不是卡斯特羅家族的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人。

古巴將在星期六到12月4號(hào)期間舉行一系列紀(jì)念活動(dòng)。卡斯特羅去年12月4號(hào)在他當(dāng)年發(fā)動(dòng)古巴革命的圣地亞哥市的一座墓地下葬。

菲德爾·卡斯特羅去年11月25號(hào)去世后，古巴全國哀悼9天。美國曾試圖推翻卡斯特羅政權(quán)。卡斯特羅這位冷戰(zhàn)的代表人物終年90歲。

卡斯特羅在去世前的十年期間由于身體患病很少公開露面。他2006年險(xiǎn)些死于內(nèi)臟疾病，2008年把總統(tǒng)職位交給他的弟弟勞爾·卡斯特羅。

古巴國家媒體報(bào)道，古巴全國這個(gè)星期將舉行紀(jì)念卡斯特羅的集會(huì)和其它活動(dòng)。國家電視臺(tái)播放卡斯特羅的紀(jì)錄片，文化團(tuán)體上演紀(jì)念卡斯特羅的節(jié)目。
