The hosts for baby Jesus usually have to be open for visitors most of the time and have to share their food with those who come to see him. This can be in someone’s house or in a church and it is considered a high honor to be chosen as the baby Jesus guardian. In central Mexico, people dress up a baby Jesus figurine and take it to mass before placing him in a niche where he will “live” for the remainder of that year. They did this on February 2, which was the eleventh day of the first month on the Aztec calendar. This tradition also carries Pre-Hispanic roots, as many villagers use to bring their corn to the church in order to get their crops blessed after planting their seeds for the new agricultural cycle that was starting. In Mexico, it is customary that the person who got ‘el niño’ in the ‘Rosca de Reyes’ has to make tamales and atole, both corn-based dishes.

In Málaga, it is a fairly standard procession with a reenactment of the presentation of Jesus at the Temple. At the end of the day in the town plaza, the bull is ceremonially ‘killed’ and sangria is passed around to symbolise the blood of the bull. In Madrid, the streets fill with clowns dressed as Andalucían farmers (cheeky lot) who bring out young bulls (vaquillas) consisting of a wooden frame with two horns.īullfighters, to use the term exceedingly loosely, dressed in multicolored silk trousers, perform mock bullfights around town all day long. These vary from simple candlelit parades to bizarre events involving wooden bulls.
It is a Christian celebration dating back to the 8th Century and in pagan folklore it denoted the middle of winter.Īlthough the basic concept of ‘purification’ is the foundation of the fiesta, it is celebrated in many different ways in Spain.
