Today I am going to talk about the origin of a tradition of my country Colombia this tradition always comes true the December 7 every year and you knew in lighting some candles the end of this is to ask for desires, but also I am going to pass the technical part.
The day of the little candles or night of the little candles is an one belonging to the most traditional festivities of Colombia, with the one that celebrates the dogma of the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary itself.
The festivity varies according to the regions of the country, but generally begin from the night of the December 7 with the ignition of street lamps and see that they illuminate streets, commercial centers and homes of towns and cities. This celebration, dial the beginning of the Christmas parties at the country. Here and there of the country, the December 8 pulls up at the houses a white flag with the Virgin Mary's image itself all day long.
Appliances what else they see in this celebration music:
Truncate pyramid conformed by a framework of wooden ribbons, which is coated of papers or paper colors cellophane ( yellow, green, red, blue ), sometimes printing with Christmas drawings. Another designs are the made lamps of bottles with form of flowers putting a wood ribbon and in the inside under the candles.
If this date is lived being in the field, they can see bonfires lit by the peasants at the mountains. In former times and still as of the present moment, the stubble departs from of the picking up the mountains it was done for these days and you take advantage to burn it in bonfires during this night, and that way lighting the road of the Virgin to those families' house.
Also can observe him homemade designs made with paper colors and allusive- figures pasteboard to Christmas. Gunpowder also is still well-thumbed, specially at the cities of Antioch.
Because I hope that you like this after as always thank you very much for the support that they offer me and with that I emit happy Christmas.
