Tamale Fair On The Occasion Of The Candlemas Day In Mexico City

Monumental image of the Child God installed during the Tamal Fair in the Iztapalapa municipality in Mexico City, on the occasion of Candlemas Day, which celebrates the period that ends the cycle of Christmas festivities within the Catholic Church. The celebration is also related to the Tenerife, Spain tradition of the Fiesta de las Candelas, or Candle Festival, which grew out of the story of the apparition of the Virgin Mary in the 14th century.
