The history behind La Candelaria<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As mentioned earlier, La Candelaria goes back to Christian history. You\u2019ll travel back in time to the days of Mary, Joseph and Jesus in Jerusalem. This tradition honors the time when Mary and Joseph brought Jesus to the Temple forty days after being born. This was customary at the time<\/a>, as new mothers were seen as unclean after giving birth for 40 days, so her and Joseph couldn\u2019t go into a holy place for 40 days. Then, they took Jesus to the temple to present him in the temple for the first time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
