English, Spanish Volume IX , Diciembre Mundial . Todas las tradiciones son dignas de respeto. The present and future should not distract us from our past because what we are now and what we propose to become in the future depends on what we have been.
All traditions are worthy of respect.
This happened with the Christmas celebrations, such that now have their own national character and cannot be confused with the traditions of other people. The traditions form an important part of the national culture of the people. The traditions are the history of the people, and the manner of feeling and thinking of a region or country. We should not allow these traditions to become unrecognizable, because with their loss, we also lose our historical and cultural identity.
