LAS POSADAS - Part 1
Las Posadas is a
grand
celebration that
observed in the
evening from
December 16 to
24. These
celebrations
commemorate Mary
and Joseph's
cold and
difficult
journey from
Nazareth to
Bethlehem in
search of
shelter.
"Posada" in
Spanish, simply
means lodging or
shelter.
Nowadays, the
posada has
evolved into a
religious and
social
celebration,
paying a festive
homage to the
journey.
