Navidad en Colombia


En Colombia el árbol de Navidad es el mismo de aquí. Excepto, las decoraciones.

Colombian tree is decorated with lights, baskets of candy, ribbons, fabric dolls and homemade ornaments.



Tradiciones en Colombia son relacionadas a la religión católica. En diciembre tiene una ceremonia en honor de la Virgen (Mary). En la noche del siete de diciembre, families light scores of candles and use them to outline streets, sidewalks, and parks so that entire cities are illuminated.


El ocho de diciembre celebran la Concepción Imaculada, during which more prayers and candles are offered to the Virgin Mary.
En el diez y seis de diciembre decoran los árboles de navidad con la Novena, which en Colombia involves a nine-day prayer ritual with a rosary in anticipation of Christmas day. During this time of celebration of Christ's birth, groups of families and friends, often encompassing an entire village or neighborhood, will gather together each night to pray.
Villancicos, better known as Christmas carols, are also sung around the nativity scene that plays a significant part of Colombia's Christmas celebrations.

Most Colombians attend Midnight Mass on Noche Buena (Christmas Eve) before returning home for dinner.

Qué comes por Navidad en tu casa
The Christmas meal often includes a special chicken soup called Ajiaco, homemade breads, fritters, roast port and natilla, a corn-based dessert.

Dónde pone Papa Noel tus regalos
Presents are brought by "El Niño Jesus" to the foot of children's beds by the next morning, and after a relaxing day spent with family, the Christmas season is complete.

    Es interesante que celebres Navidad muchas días antes de Navidad, por que Americanos celebran Navidad solo en el 25 de diciembre. Tu sopa de pollo es interesante, también. Me gusta como celebras este compran (compared) a los Americanos.
