The Posadas

A traditional celebration in my country are the posadas . Every year, from 16th to 24th of December  people in my country celebrate the holidays with their family and friends.

It is a way to represent the pilgrimage that Mary and Joseph did to find inn where Jesus could be born.

Guests ask for shelter singing, Everybody breaks a piñata full of candy and fruit, then eat traditional dishes and drink punch.

The posadas started to celebrate in Augustinian temples in colonial times, with the purpose of evangelize the indigenous.
