Answer:
The tradition of carving religious figures into radishes is associated with the "Night of the Radishes" (Noche de Rábanos) festival in Oaxaca, Mexico. This unique festival takes place on December 23rd each year. It is a popular event where local vendors carve intricate scenes, including religious figures, into large radishes.
The support for Mexican vendors to continue this tradition comes from both the local community and tourists who appreciate and celebrate the cultural and artistic significance of the Night of the Radishes. The festival has gained recognition and support over the years, helping to sustain and encourage the artisans to showcase their creativity through radish carving.
