Sorry about my lateness but this is pretty interesting. The night of the 7th of Dec. was the Day of the Candles. Almost all of Catholic Colombia does it. We celebrated it with our whole Apt. complex. The idea is to light a path for the virgin Mary, and its a lot of fun too. All the kids, there was an 18 yr. old doing it too, were making wax balls from the candles. I asked a kid next to me why everyone was doing it and he said it was kinda like a souvenir to remember that special day. We melted the wax from the candles and while it was hot molded it into a ball. When all the candles were gone we made a mini fire, but it was accidentally put out by some beer to make it flame up. :)
There was Christmasy music playing and we all stayed out kinda late. Anyway it was lots of fun and I made a good sized ball that happened to be bigger than Anna's, but not as big as some of them. (Photos Below)
