Tamal Fair In Mexico City
A woman is serving atole at the Tamal Fair in the Iztapalapa mayor's office in Mexico City, on the occasion of Candlemas Day, which is celebrating the period that closes the cycle of Christmas festivities within the Catholic Church. The celebration is also related to the tradition of the Festival of Candles in Tenerife, Spain, which arose from the story of the appearance of the Virgin Mary in the 14th century. According to the Catholic faith, it represents the purification of the Virgin Mary, the quarantine after childbirth, and the presentation of the Child Jesus in the church.
