Making Tamales To Mark Candlemas Day In Mexico

Corn husks for making tamales used by inhabitants of San Francisco Culhuacán in Mexico City, on the occasion of Candlemas Day, which celebrates the period that closes the cycle of Christmas festivities within the Catholic Church. The tamale (from the Nahuatl tamalli, which means wrapped) is a Mexican food made from corn, filled with various ingredients, cooked in a bundle of vegetable leaves that can be made of corn, plantain, reed, chilaca or papatla.
