Day of the Candelaria

February 2nd

In this topic I will focus on what we celebrate on 2 February, in Mexico, it is a very special day because my birthday is celebrated, well besides that, we celebrate the day of the Candelaria.


It's a party which is celebrated in honor of the Virgen de la Candelaria, Virgin found in Tenerife, an island of Spain, which was derived from the candlestick or candle that refers to the holy light, which guides to the right path, salvation and intensifies the faith in God.

It is the day when the Christmas period ends because 40 days have passed after celebrating Christmas, the birth of Christ, and is when it is presented the Baby Jesus in the Temple of Jerusalem.

This party is called in different parts of the world with names like: The Presentation of the Lord, The festival of Candles or The Festival of Light; where Christ is the light of the world who came to enlighten all as a candle and who was introduced by his mother to the temple, this is where the name of the Candelaria arises.

The day of the Candelaria , in Mexico is a festival in which indigenous and Spanish traditions come together, by merging religious and pre-Hispanic rituals. The tradition of Catholic origin, rooted in Mexico, however, with the help of pre-Hispanic tradition, which called Tlaloc, Chalchiuhtlicue and Tlaloques for good harvests and abundant rain with offerings of corn. Creating an unique festival and is celebrated with tamales and atole.


But it all starts from January 6, the day of the Magi, when the rosca de reyes is cut, and the person who will get the Baby Jesus, will be the godfather or godmother, and you need to make or buy the tamales for February 2nd and share with family, friends and / or colleagues. It is a day to share and have a good time.

Political fanaticism.

  Political fanaticism.    In recent years, a very latent phenomenon that has been growing dangerously and vertiginously, in a context of high polarization; this distorter is presented as an enemy of electoral conscience and a healthy and mature democracy, it is political fanaticism.    But let's start by defining fanaticism:    According to the definition of the Royal Spanish Academy : it is an “excessive passion and tenacity in the defense of beliefs or opinions, especially religious or political ones”.    For Voltaire: “Fanaticism is to superstition what delirium is to fever, what rage is to anger.

Yo en particular me encuentro en un punto en donde no me imagino todavía a una persona que sea torpe con ambas manos, bueno puede ser porque no he conocido a una persona con esta falta de habilidad, por otro lado, si hay blanco hay negro, pero por mi parte "hasta no ver no creer".
