Dia de la Candelaria on Feb 2nd (Tamales Day!)
In Mexico, every 2nd February families and communities get together for a delicious tamales feast, and they dress up their image of Niño Dios (Child Christ) with brand new clothes and take it to the church to be blessed.
This is a Mexican tradition and religious holiday.
New Year’s Eve, otherwise known as nochevieja or año nuevo, is a big deal in Mexico.
In Mexico and all over the Catholic world, December 28 commemorates the "Santos Inocentes" or Holy Innocents, considered the first Christian martyrs.
