Reviving Tradition: The Art of ⁤Restoring baby Jesus⁢ Figurines in ⁣mexico City

MEXICO CITY — While purchasing new⁣ baby Jesus figurines may be more affordable than​ repairing damaged ones, the emotional significance tied‍ to these beloved religious icons prompts many families‍ to seek restoration services each⁢ January. In a vibrant district of downtown Mexico City, numerous individuals arrive with their chipped or broken figures in search of skilled artisans who can mend hands, legs, or‌ other intricate features.

The Significance of Restoration Before Candlemas

the‍ practice of restoring ⁢these figurines coincides with the upcoming Candlemas on February 2nd—a ⁤cherished party within the Catholic tradition that signifies the conclusion⁢ of Christmas festivities. This⁣ special feast honors both the purification of Virgin Mary and Jesus’ presentation at the temple.

A⁣ Tradition Passed Down Through Generations

It’s normal for plaster figurines to sustain damage over time; often arriving at notable holidays⁢ missing fingers, noses,⁣ or⁤ even ​heads. yet for⁤ many people, parting with their cherished statues is not an option. instead of replacing them‍ with newer versions,‍ they opt for restoration because ⁣these ⁣items often hold sentimental value as they were⁢ gifts from ​loved ones or have ​been part of their family traditions​ for many years.

Sentiment Over Cost: Insights from Local Artisans

“Purchasing a brand-new figure might​ save you money ⁣but isn’t quite as ⁣meaningful as one that has been gifted to you—its history matters,” shares María Sánchez Arena, 61 years old and actively involved ⁣in restoring baby Jesus figures during ‍this ⁤time each year.

Cultural Practices Surrounding Figures Post-Restoration

Throughout December and into early February,Mexican families prominently display these figural representations ‌in⁣ Nativity scenes within‌ their homes. On Candlemas day itself, it’s customary for them to bring these ‍beautifully⁣ restored pieces into churches were they receive blessings before being returned home once more.
