La historia cuenta que el 8 de diciembre de 1854, el papa Pío IX emitió la bula Ineffabilis Deus, que trata sobre la Inmaculada Concepción de María. Se dice que, al emitirla, se encendieron velas y antorchas en todos los lugares católicos en honor a la pureza de la Virgen al ser concebida".

Little Candles' Day (Día de las Velitas) is one of the most observed traditional holidays in Colombia. It is celebrated on the eve of the Immaculate Conception. On December 7th, people place candles and paper lanterns on windowsills, balconies, sidewalks, everywhere they can be seen, in honor of the Virgin Mary and her Immaculate Conception.
Happy Little Candles' Day!
