Las Posadas

Looking back on 2015 ~ Las Posadas

Part of our Christmas Traditions is to celebrate Las Posadas each year. Las Posadas has been a tradition in Mexico for 400 years. While its roots are in Catholicism, even Protestant Latinos follow the tradition.  It may have been started in the 16th century by Friar Pedro de Gante. It may have been started by early friars who combined Spanish Catholicism with the December Aztec celebration of the birth of Huitzilopochtli.
