Día de la Candelaria

2 de febrero

En este tema me enfocaré en lo que celebramos el 2 de febrero en México, es un día muy especial porque se celebra mi cumpleaños, bueno aparte de eso, celebramos el día de la Candelaria.

Es una fiesta que se celebra en honor a la Virgen de la Candelaria,virgen que se encuentra en Tenerife, una isla de España, la cual se derivó del candelero o candela que hace referencia a la luz santa que guía al buen camino, la salvación e intensifica la fe en Dios.

Es el día cuando finaliza el periodo navideño, pues ya han pasado 40 días después de haber festejado la navidad, el nacimiento del Niño Dios, y es cuando se presenta al Niño Jesús en el Templo de Jerusalén.

A esta fiesta se le conoce en diferentes partes del mundo con nombres como: La Presentación del Señor, La Fiesta de Las Candelas o La Fiesta de La Luz; donde Cristo es la luz del mundo quien vino a iluminar a todos como una vela o una candela y quien fue presentado por su madre ante el templo, es aquí donde surge el nombre de la Candelaria.

El día de la Candelaria en México es una fiesta en la que se unen tradiciones indígenas y españolas, fusionando los rituales religiosos y prehispánicos. La tradición de origen católico enraizó en México, sin embargo, de la mano de la tradición prehispánica en que se pedía a Tláloc, Chalchiuhtlicue y los Tlaloques por las buenas cosechas y lluvia abundante con ofrendas de maíz. Creando así una fiesta original y se celébra con tamales y atole.

Pero todo empieza desde el 6 de enero, el día de reyes, cuando se parte la rosca de reyes y al que le toca el Niño Dios, será el padrino y tiene que hacer o comprar los tamales para el 2 de febrero y compartirlos con la familia, amigos y/o compañeros de trabajo. Es un día de compartir y pasar un buen momento.

The Propaganda Principles of Goebbels

The 11 Propaganda Principles of Joseph Goebbels. Who was Joseph Goebbels? Joseph Goebbels was the father of Nazi propaganda and head of the Ministry of Popular Education and Propaganda, created by Adolf Hitler when he came to power in 1933. Goebbels had been the director of the Nazi Party's communication task and the great architect of the rise to can. In those times, Adolf Hitler was a messianic figure, a myth that led the country wrapped in an aura of divinity. And if Hitler was the Messiah, Goebbels was his prophet. Once in government and with a free hand to monopolize the state media apparatus, Goebbels banned all publications and media outlets outside his control and orchestrated a system of slogans to be broadcast through a centralized power of cinema, and radio, theater, literature, and the press. He was also in charge of promoting or making government announcements public. His work in communication, control, and mass mani...

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. He who has ecstasies, visions, who takes dreams for realities and his imaginations for prophecies is a novice fanatic with great hopes; he may soon get to kill for God's sake." Therefore, fanaticism is identified by the desire to impose their ideas, despise those who are different, be based on a series of thoughts that ar...
