Mushroom tamales

After splitting the rosca de reyes, most consider that dietary temptations and weight gain have been forgotten; however, on February 2, Candlemas day , tamales, atole and excess are present.

At Candlemas day the day in which the baby Jesus was presented in the Temple by his parents according to Jewish custom is commemorated; the celebration takes place 40 days after Christmas, marking the end of this festivity.

After the spiritual conquest of Mexico this celebration was mestizo, becoming the one we know today: those who lulled the child on the 25th should dress him and present him to the church; In some indigenous communities, the ears of corn that will serve as seeds for the next planting are blessed. Finally, those who cut the thread and touched the figure should invite tamales and atole to their friends.
