Today
in class we learned about a
Christmas tradition in Mexico: Las Posadas!
Ask your student:
Ask your student:
- What is "Las Posadas"? (Posadas means "inns". In Mexico, people organize parties for the 9 days leading up to Christmas. They walk from house to house asking if they can go in...just like Mary and Joseph had to look for a place to stay. Finally, they get to the "right" house that will let them come in and have a party. In Mexico, they always plan out who will host the parties in advance. We did this in class! Some students "hosted" parties, others were Mary, Joseph, or the Angel, and still others were people who went along with Mary and Joseph. Ask your student what his/her role was!)
