Posadas

Anthony my oldest nephew and his lovely wife hosted a night of Posada at their home.

In traditional Mexican Catholic Culture families in neighborhoods host a night of 9 nine days, acting as the innkeepers. Posadas represent the journey of Jesus and Mary to their Nativity. We held candles and sang a song representing the the refusals of Mary and Joseph to lodge in each inn.
They had 2 pinatas. One for the children and one for the adults. I actually missed that part of it-I had to get my niece home on time. The kids had a blast singing, hitting the pinata, playing games and winning prizes.






Thank you Monica & Anthony for a great time!
