À propos de ce contenu audio
The term farolito is a derivative of farol, meaning lantern. Throughout the years, the term has become synonymous with New Mexico’s Christmas celebrations. Historic descriptions of official and religious processions in the 18th-century include the small lantern-like bags filled with candles and dirt. In colonial New Mexico, neither metal frames nor window glass were available, so lanterns (in Spanish farols or linternas) were none virtually non-existent in New Mexico. The first square-bottomed paper bag was patented by Luther Childs Crowell of Boston, Mass., in 1872. Since the paper bags were largely of the mid-and-late-19th century, theyr wer not a part of Spanish Colinial traditions. However, their popular usage in brightening up Santa Fe’s Christmas season justifies their New Mexican label of farolito, the little lantern.
