On a frigid early-December night at Logan Square bar Park & Field, a crowd of Chicagoans all wearing insulated jackets gathered around a fire pit on the bar\u2019s patio.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

They were taking part in La Quema del Diablo or \u201cburning of the devil,\u201d a tradition that takes place throughout Guatemala every Dec. 7. La Quema del Diablo <\/span>is part of a preparatory celebration for the Feast of the Immaculate Conception<\/span><\/a>, a Christian holiday that celebrates the conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe whole idea of bringing [Quema del Diablo] back here is to not let our culture die,\u201d says organizer of La Quema del Diablo, Manuel Gir\u00f3n. \u201cA lot of people can\u2019t go back home and see these traditions again.\u201d\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t
