Dia de las Velitas

Today in Colombia begins the day of small candles. On this night, people place candles and paper lanterns on window sills, balconies, porches, sidewalks, streets, parks and squares; in short, wherever we see them, in honor of the Virgin Mary and her Immaculate Conception. On December 8, it is customary for houses to hoist a white flag with the image of the Virgin Mary all day. #mythology #myth #legend #calendar #7December #diadelasvelitas #colombia #virginmary
