Las Posadas is a meaningful Christmas tradition in Spain and many Latin American countries.
During evenings preceding Christmas Eve, groups of family and friends will gather to reenact Mary and Joseph’s journey.
As they walk the streets, the groups sing villancicos (Christmas carols) with some members playing instruments as they go.
When they arrive at the “inn” the group enters and prays around a Nativity scene. A celebratory feast, akin to Christmas dinner, usually follows.
