Bendición

“Bendición Buelita” I would say to my grandmother as I entered her home. Growing up saying Bendicion in a Latin household goes beyond a simple greeting. This practice is a tradition of acknowledging and seeking blessings from others, and particularly from our older family members. It represents a cultural practice deeply rooted in faith, respect, and the desire for well-being. It serves as a reminder to acknowledge the importance of blessings in one’s life. Lighting this candle can symbolize the intention to invite blessings into one’s life or to send blessings to others.
