Every year-end, Galilea Montijo becomes a topic of conversation among the followers of the show 'Hoy', thanks to a peculiar ritual that the host shared a couple of years ago and that has already become a tradition for many.

It was at the end of 2022 when Montijo revealed, during a morning broadcast on Televisa, Her secret to welcoming the New Year: as the clock strikes twelve, she takes a handful of lentils and throws them behind her with faith, aiming to attract money and prosperity. The actress was insistent on recommending this practice. In fact, during an appearance on 'Netas Divinas' alongside Natalia Tellez, Consuelo Duval, and Daniela Magun, she asserted that the ritual "does work" and encouraged her followers to perform it. "If there's one thing I love to celebrate, it's the New Year, and I also have a lentil ritual that I'm going to share with you," she said, laughing, clarifying: "Many people make them into soup and eat them, but I don't." What does the ritual consist of? Montijo meticulously detailed the steps, which are full of symbolism. Lentils, with their round shape and golden color, represent coins and abundance. Preparation: Before midnight, take a handful of raw lentils. After this confession, the 52-year-old Mexican host joked, asking that her followers remember her when they receive money thanks to the ritual. Although she admits that she has sometimes been looked at strangely for this practice, she doesn't mind sharing it.
