In Colombia it is customary for every child to have a godfather, godmother or both. They are called "padrinos". This person or persons are responsible for the child in the event of tragedy visiting the parents and give presents to the child on the day of the god children or "Dia de Los Ahijados" which this year fell on June 30th. In the image are "macetas" on sale at all the shopping centers, gifts for (obviously young) ahijados.
