Default Annual radish festival in Oaxaca

Does anyone know if radishes are indigenous to Mexico? The annual
radish carving festival that takes place in Oaxaca round Christmas
time is some kind of wonderful. The radishes are gi-normous and
perfect for carving as they must be awfully woody to eat.
This special day is like a harvest festival, but was wondering if
anyone knew the origins of the day or where this vegetables came from?
I have seen radishes served as a salad side dish and is wonderful
dipped in guacamole.
Any help appreciated.
