Las Posadas

Las Posadas is a traditional Mexican celebration held from December 16th to 24th, commemorating Mary and Joseph’s search for shelter before the birth of Jesus. Participants reenact their journey by singing and going door-to-door in their communities, requesting lodging. The process often involves prayer, music, and festive gatherings, culminating in a communal meal and the breaking of piñatas. This event highlights themes of hospitality, faith, and community, helping people reflect on the nativity story and celebrate the Christmas season with cultural richness and spiritual meaning.
