Dia de la Candelaria.




In England I'm used to all Christmas decorations disappearing before the 6th of Jan. Here it can stay until 'El Dia de la Candelaria' or 'The Presentation of Jesus in the Temple' which happens in February. For a while before this day market stalls pop up everywhere with Jesus dolls and elaborate costumes to dress them in. I went to a little town named Candelaria inside Mexico City to see people come to present their Jesuses.. or Jesai? to their own church.
