Ayer fue noche de velitas 🕯️

La noche de velitas es una tradición colombiana que cae el 7 de diciembre para celebrar la Inmaculada Concepción de la Virgen María el día siguiente. Se prenden velitas con intenciones and oraciones. Algunos de nuestros estudiantes colombianos celebran la noche de velitas para venerar a la virgencita con sus familias.
