Tamal Fair In Mexico City
Tamales are being viewed at the Tamal Fair in the Iztapalapa mayor's office in Mexico City, during the celebration of Candlemas Day, which marks the end of the Christmas festivities within the Catholic Church. The event is also connected to the tradition of the Festival of Candles in Tenerife, Spain, originating from the tale of the Virgin Mary's apparition in the 14th century. In the Catholic tradition, this day symbolizes the purification of the Virgin Mary, her quarantine after childbirth, and the presentation of the Child Jesus in the church.
