7 Most Unique Xmas Traditions From Around The Planet

Columbia – Candles Burning Bright

Columbia is maybe not a country which you associate with Xmas but it loves to get involved with this season. December 7th is the start of the holiday season in Columbia and sees people there pay homage to the immaculate conception. This sees candles placed inside homes on windowsills and also outside on balconies. You can also see them placed in public spaces, like parks. The next day sees homes flying white flags with pictures of the Virgin Mary and the 8th December can also see graves lit up as part of festive celebrations.
