Who is awarded with one of the dolls that are hidden inside the thread is committed to give tamales to all who shared the thread during the celebration of Candlemas Day.

Candlemas day

The Day of the Virgin of the Candlemas is a celebration framed by the preparation of atole and tamales.

On the night of 15th September, the president of the republic emulates the Grito de Dolores from the National Palace, the name given to the historic call made by the priest, Miguel Hidalgo, from the parish of Dolores, inciting popular rebellion in search of the independence of Mexico.

The patriotic celebrations culminate the 16th September with a military parade by the main streets of the City of Mexico and the rest of the public squares of the country.

The Guelaguetza

The setting for this festival is located on the Fortín hill, located around the city of Oaxaca, and it takes place on the first Monday after July 16.
