In Mexico, there is evidence that in 1587 the Augustinian religious Fray Diego de San Soria, prior of the convent of San Agustín Acolman, in the current State of Mexico, requested (and obtained) a bull of the then Pope Sixtus V to celebrate annually, in that headquarters and others of the Viceroyalty, aguinaldo masses that will remember that event from the 16th to the 24th of December.
