Las Posadas


This Christian novenario, or nine days of devotions, is celebrated throughout Mexico as well as much of Central America, Cuba, Spain, and among Hispanics in the United States. On the nine nights before Christmas, participants in parades and pilgrimages commemorate the Virgin Mary and St. Joseph’s search for a place to stay where Jesus could be born. Posadas in Mexico feature hot food and drinks, sweets, music, and piñatas.
