About Las Posadas
Mexico & Central America , Brazil & South America
Ends: Dec 24, 2024
DESCRIPTION:
Las Posadas is an evening event that occurs each year during the week of December 16-24. It commemorates the journey of Mary and Joseph, the parents of Jesus Christ, to Bethlehem and their inability to find lodging once arriving there for the census.
Parties are held in homes throughout Mexico, Central, and South America each night. People approaching house parties stand before and sing or say:
"In the name of Heaven
I ask you for lodging,
because She cannot walk,
my beloved wife."
The host and people inside the house respond:
"This is no inn,
keep on going.
I won't open the door,
in case you are a truant."
The tradition continues for several verses, with those outside giving clues about who they are. Once the people inside discover who the people outside are, they all enter the home for festivities.
Each party wandering from house to house has a little girl dressed as the Virgin Mary and a boy as Joseph. If available, "Mary" rides a donkey.
Las Posada parties occur every night and are an excellent way for neighbors to get to know each other and celebrate the season.
Posada means "lodging" in Spanish.
