Aia kekahi mau haku mele Paniolo, ka mea i hana ʻia ma Mekiko e like me Fernán González de Eslava a me Pedro Trejo. Ua kākau nā mea hope loa i nā kuʻomanaʻo hoʻomana haipule maoli, a ʻo nā mea i nīnau ʻia e ka Inekuisitio Hemolele. I ke kenekulia ʻumikūmāhiku, ua haʻalele ʻo Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz iā mākou i kekahi mau mele Kalikimaka.
I ka makahiki 1541, ua kākau ʻo Fray Toribio de Motolinía i kāna mau hoʻomanaʻo hoʻomanaʻo, kahi āna i haʻi ai i loko o Tlaxcala no ka hoʻolauleʻa Kalikimaka, ua hoʻonaninani nā ʻōiwi i nā hale pule me nā pua a me nā mea kanu, pāhola i ka papahele, a hula a me nā hīmeni i ko lākou komo ʻana a hāpai kēlā me kēia i kahi ʻāpana pua. i ka lima. Hoʻā ʻia nā ahi ahi i nā lānai a puhi ʻia nā lama ma luna o nā hale, hīmeni nā kānaka a kuʻi i nā pahu a kani nā bele.
Lohe ka poʻe āpau i ka lehulehu, ʻo ka poʻe i kūpono ʻole i loko o ka luakini e noho ana i nā atriums, akā kūlou mau lākou a hele i kēlā me kēia. No ka lā o ka Epiphany lawe mai lākou i ka hōkū mai kahi mamao aku, e huki ana i kahi kaula; Ma ke alo o ke kiʻi o ka wahine puʻupaʻa a me ke Keiki keikua hāʻawi lākou i nā ihoiho a me nā mea ʻala, nā manu nūnū a me nā ʻūlū a lākou i hōʻiliʻili ai no ka hanana. I loko o ke kolu o nā makahiki he 16 o ke kenekulia 16, ua haku ʻo Fray Andrés de Olmos i ka "Auto de la Adoración de los Reyes Magos" ʻo ia nō ka hana keaka hoʻomana a Motolinía i loiloi ai, e ʻōlelo ana: a i kekahi mau makahiki ua pani lākou i ke kaʻa o ka mōhai.
Ua hoʻolauleʻa pū ʻia ʻo Candelaria. I kēia hoʻolauleʻa ʻana, ua lawe ʻia nā wax i hoʻohana ʻia i nā kaʻina e hoʻomaikaʻi a mālama ʻia e hāʻawi i ka manawa o nā maʻi a me nā pōʻino kūlohelohe.
Pēlā nā ʻahaʻaina o ka hānau ʻana o ka Haku i nā lā mua o ka hoʻomana Kristiano, kahi i poina iā Huitzilopochtli. ʻO ka ʻike o ka poʻe ʻeuanelio e hoʻohana i nā mea ʻōiwi e hoʻolaulea i nā hana haipule e like me nā pua, nā mōhai, nā mele, nā mele a me nā hulahula, i hiki ai ke ʻae koke i ka hoʻomana hou, i hōʻike ʻia me nā hana ua kamaʻāina lākou i nā mea hoʻohuli hou.
Ma nā loiloi Motolinía, aia kekahi mau mea e hoʻomau i kēia lā i ka Kalikimaka Mekiko: nā mele, nā kukui a hiki paha i ka "Auto de la Adoración de los Reyes Magos", ka mea i hānai hou i nā pastorelas. ʻO ke koena i kēia lā i hana i ka hopena o ka makahiki hoʻolauleʻa ua hoʻohui haʻahaʻa ʻia, a hiki i ka loaʻa ʻana o nā ʻoliʻoli me nā ʻano Mekiko.
