Candlelight Day, celebrated on 7thDecember, marks the beginning of Christmas and has its origins in the proclamation of the dogma of the Immaculate Conception in 1854.
The faithful lit candles and lanterns in honour of the Virgin Mary, a tradition that evolved in the country as a cultural and religious celebration.
Families place candles and lanterns in windows, balconies and streets, accompanying the night with music, food and prayer, highlighting family and regional unity.
This festivity is a symbol of faith, hope and preparation for Christmas.
