Today, I've been saying! Have if I have time and then throw fire "virtually" Candlemas. I have bundled with it and try to burn before the end of the day .
not know the origins of the celebration of the Candelaria and San Blas in this town. Could entangle the legend and seek its beginnings in the town to the settlement (of a parcel) of the Templars in this town at the time of the reconquest. Thing that occurred.
The beginnings of these parties are clearly Christian, may find these celebrations around the country, but also, I have to add that the conclusion of two days is produced in fewer locations.
The Candlemas, Light or Candlemas is celebrated according to the timetable or Catholic saints on February 2 to commemorate the passage of the Presentation Child Jesus and the purification of the Virgin Mary after the birth. Its beginnings could be traced to the fifteenth century. There is evidence that Rome is blessed candles in S. IX.
Castro del Rio in have a peculiarity. The burning of an effigy, standing on a wooden chariot-style scarecrow orchards Castro (now disappeared) in the fire.
Oral testimony we have of older Candlemas are given by the material that was used to burn, old straining the mills, oil impregnated produced a good campfire. The cagarrache the whole campaign was saving for this day.
I was part of a group of youngsters that we were doing. At that time the mats were in decline or were difficult to obtain.
In the Candelaria where I participated there was no known environmental awareness. The material of our candles vehicle tires was basically engaged in a high beam it to the shaft. Was the material at hand I got in the Alley of the Wolf, not to throw us privábamos Uralita pieces to creak while the fire. These fires came to be banned, I think rather that it was for the black smoke they produced, rather than the protection of the atmosphere. Another custom
there was little grace for the makers of Candlemas, for after many days to carry fuel getting montándosla material, came from other neighborhoods and rob you of the material collected or worse. He set fire to a few days before burning without an audience.
Today the urchins have been replaced in assembling associations that have seen fit to bring to the ceremony, drinks, land and rich dishes.
The drawback is that it has happened to the Saturday closest leaving the day early. So has the stork. But the point remains: to assist and purified by fire.
San Blas, the next day is celebrated with church participation. The mothers go to church to bless them with colored ribbons which tie a bagel, it will crash the child's neck. In honor of the patron saint of the throat.
"San Blas blessed that drowns the little angel."
seems that way to his martyrdom in the year 316 made a cure all very excited. A poor woman had her baby dying because he had undergone a fishbone in the throat. Ran to a spot where the saint was to pass. He knelt down and introduced him to the sick boy who was drowning. San Blas he placed his hands on the child's head and prayed for him. Spine immediately disappeared and the boy regained his health.
is customary that the threads are donated by bakers to their customers.
