Categories: Latin America, Mexico, Arts & Culture, Food, Religion

Lesley Téllez in The Mija Chronicles [1] writes about Día de la Candelaria, “a Catholic holiday that honors the purification of the Virgin Mary. It’s also an important day for eating tamales. The holiday is a follow-up to Three Kings Day on Jan. 6.” She includes a recipe for strawberry tamales.
