Las Posadas

Las Posadas is a nine-day celebration with origins in Spain, now celebrated chiefly in Mexico, Guatemala and parts of the Southwestern United States, recognizing Mary & Joseph's search for shelter for the birth of baby Jesus.
 
    We all traveled to each of the classroom seeking this shelter.

The head of the procession carried a candle inside a paper lampshade.
Children also carry poinsettias.
 
And Once shelter  was found, we celebrated with a traditional star-shaped Piñata.
 
We had so much fun hitting  Piñata.

Once the  Piñata broke open we ran to gather fruit candy hidden inside.
