La flor de cucharilla y su papel en la fiesta de “la virgen de la barranca

Abstract

In Mexico, multiple religious celebrations take place throughout the year, these have become part of a syncretic national culture that can be reflected in the materiality of each patronal feast or offering carried out according to the Catholic-Christian calendar. We can witness the meticulous work of the communities when organizing a party in which the decoration of the places that protect their gods cannot be lacking, it is made with great care and dedication. The teaspoon is the essential part of the decoration as it is part of the floral arch that is placed at the entrance of the temples as an offering and to welcome visitors.
