On February 2nd<\/sup>, Mexico celebrates Candlemas Day, a variety of traditions combined. From Spain\u2019s religious heritage, it is said to be a reminder of the biblical passage when child Jesus was presented at the Temple in Jerusalem and the purification of the Virgin Mary after childbirth.<\/p>\n

From our pre-Hispanic past, the tradition is that in many towns, residents take corncobs to church, to be blessed so they can begin the agricultural cycle, which begins on February 2nd<\/sup>, the first month of the ancient Aztec calendar, when a number of gods were honored. That is why the custom is that whoever found the child in the Rosca de Reyes, offers a party with tamales and atole. Both are made based on corn, a food of pre-Hispanic origin, essential in Mexican cuisine.<\/p>\n
