Holiday “Candelaria”

In February the festival of La Candelaria is celebrated at the school, that brings us the beginning of the awakening of nature and beautiful songs that remind us that spring is not so far away.

"The sun rises

the earth awakens

the birds in the forest

they start to wake up

and sing a melody

that I can no longer remember "

From the summer solstice to the feast of San Juan and through the feast of San Miguel and the feast of the Lantern, whose inner light shines during the darkness that autumn and winter bring us, the day 2 February celebrates the festival of Candelaria, At which time the sun begins to regain its strength to warm the earth and for this reason the days get longer and the seeds germinate inside the earth. It is the month in which fertility awakens in Nature and lthe inner light will then grow until the vernal equinox.

This interior light is symbolized by the candles that the boys and girls in the third class of primary school have made and that they have worn in the nursery classrooms., infant and primary this week.
