Posadas by Mexgirl
Posadas are traditional mexican Parties are celebrated since a long time.Its is said that the ancient mexicans used to celebrate the winter time with the comming of
Huitzilopochtli, God of war, in the month called Panquetzaliztli, which in the actual calendar corresponds from 7 to 26th December, so it was easier for the Spaniards to relate it to Christmas and promote the substitution of ancient Gods to Christian characters for the Evangelization period.
However, the customs of the Party remained the same and with time, some others were added.
Today, some of the typical things you will find in a Posada are firecrackers, Piņatas, sings, a lot of popular food, fruit-Punch, Atole, tamales, etc.
