If You Visit Colombia In December, It Is The Month Of Celebration.
Starting off December with Dia De Las Veritas and celebrating the divinity of women.
Yes, it sounds a little out there; I had to google because no one in my house could explain why yesterday and today is a holiday.
Last night the town was lit up with lights for Christmas, as well as everyone lighting candles on the front porch, carrying them around town, and going into the church. It was beautiful.
The streets are painted, and the children laughing and playing in the “mazes made of lights.” Yet, for me, I like to know why. The curiosity in me gets to thinking, what is this all about?
The dia de las velitas also fell the day after the last days of Chanukah. So is it related or just a coincidence. What I discovered.
December 7 to celebrate the proclamation of the Immaculate Conception by Pope Pius IX at the Vatican in Rome on December 8, 1854.
