Las Posadas is a nine day celebration that starts December 16, through December 24,and is also reffered to the noche buena. This symbolizes the trials, which they believe Mary and Joseph endured while finding a place to stay, and were Jesus could be born. During a posada every home will have a nativity scene, and the host of the posada will play the roll of the innkeepers. The pilgrims request a posada (lodging) by singing a traditional song about the pilgrims. They carry small lite candles in there hand. They will ask for lodging, in three different houses,but only the third one will let them in.That third house will be were the posada will be held. In the house the guest will kneel down and pray. This is followed by the singing of traditional Christmas song and a party for the children.
