The Catholic Church celebrates Feast of the Virgin of Candelaria, as usual every February 2, which coincides with the “festival of lights”, which is the presentation of the Lord and the ritual purification of the Virgin Mary.
The celebration was advanced with a procession of candles in Spain, amid the conviction that the Virgin appeared in 1392 to two aborigines, who they saw a small wooden image of a woman, about a meter high, who had in one hand a candle with the flame lit and in the other, was carrying a baby.
