Candlemas Day In The Center Of Tlalpan In Mexico City
People gather to eat tamales on the occasion of Candlemas Day at the Tlalpan Center in Mexico City, Mexico, on February 2, 2025. The origin of this holiday commemorates the Virgin of Candelaria, exactly 40 days after Christmas; according to anthropologists, the Virgin attends Church to be purified and thank God. This fact is marked, and currently, every February 2, religious acts are held in honor of the baby Jesus. (Photo by Jose Luis Torales/NurPhoto)
