Hola, hoy es lunes y hoy hicimos:



1.  ¿Sabes tú?  2O el 16 de diciembre de 2019

Las Posadas is a nine-day celebration with origins in Mexico that begins December 16th and ends December 24th. It is a yearly tradition for many Catholic Mexicans and some other Latin Americans. These Posadas are a re-enactment of the search by Joseph and Mary, for lodging, prior to Jesus’ birth. In the Posadas, groups of children and adults go from house to house singing a traditional song requesting lodging. At each house, the resident responds by refusing lodging (also in song), until the weary travelers reach the designated site for the party, where Mary and Joseph are finally recognized and allowed to enter. In some places, the final location may be a church instead of a home. Individuals may actually play the various parts of Mary and Joseph with the expectant mother riding a real donkey (burro), with attendants such as angels and shepherds acquired along the way. Or the pilgrims may carry images of the holy personages instead. At the end of the long journey, there will be a big party with Christmas carols (villancicos), piñatas and a feast. Typically, each family in a neighborhood will schedule a night for the Posada to be held at their home.
