    The February 2nd, in Mexico, the Candlemas day, a traditional festival that combines the beliefs of Catholicism, Judaism and the pre-Hispanic cultures of Mexico.
    The February 2nd, is the day on which the Christmas celebrations end as stipulated by Catholicism, since it is the day on which Jesus, following his Jewish tradition, is presented in the temple 40 days after his birth, it is added to this that at the same time, the ancient inhabitants of the Aztec country asked Tlaloc, god of rain, through rituals and dances, good harvests.
    The union of 3 traditions so present in Mexico have resulted in one of the most special festivities of the national calendar, it is a festival full of unique customs, such as that, The person who has taken the child from the rosca de reyes cut between January 5 and 6, is in charge of making or buying the traditional tamales, accompanied by the also traditional atole or the champurrado and take them to the place where family and friends gather to celebrate this special date, on the other hand this is the custom of elegantly dressing an image of the child god and take her to present to the temple, in this case in Catholic churches where masses are offered at the end of the Christmas celebrations, and then return home with the blessed child and begin the party.
