Tamal Fair In Mexico City
Attendees are enjoying the Tamal Fair in the Iztapalapa mayor's office in Mexico City, on the occasion of Candlemas Day, which marks the end of the Christmas festivities within the Catholic Church. The celebration is also connected to the tradition of the Festival of Candles in Tenerife, Spain, which originated from the tale of the Virgin Mary's apparition in the 14th century. According to the Catholic faith, it symbolizes the purification of the Virgin Mary, the quarantine period after childbirth, and the presentation of the Child Jesus in the church.
