Mexicans Celebrate Feast of Candelaria With Jesus Effigies
A man sits on a bench while holding a dressed-up doll representing baby Jesus, during a celebration 40 days after the birth of Jesus in Xochimilco, on the outskirts of Mexico City on Thursday. Mexicans traditionally attend mass on this day and celebrate the Feast of Candelaria, carrying elaborate effigies—or representations—of the young Jesus to be blessed 40 days after Christmas.
