Las Posadas is a festivity that brings together community, tradition and holiday spirit. The word posada means "inn" or "shelter" in Spanish, and the event reenacts Mary and Joseph’s search for a place to stay in Bethlehem. This tradition originated in 16th-century Mexico, when Spanish missionaries combined Catholic teachings with indigenous customs, creating a unique blend of faith and family.
