The Burning of the Devil right before the celebration of the Virgin of the Immaculate Conception marks the beginning of the Christmas Season. In this photo you can see a small altar for the Virgin of the Immaculate Conception in the Barrio (neighborhood) de la Concepción in La Antigua Guatemala.

I don’t really like Christmas (I mean the whole commercialisation) and pics like yours remind me the pure spirit. Thank you very much.
