2 (restaurante) restaurant

3 (cobijo) hospitality

A popular celebration in Mexico and Central America between December 16 and Christmas Day to commemorate the journey of Mary and Joseph to Bethlehem. It consists of a procession of models of religious figures that people carry on their shoulders, asking for shelter as they go by. The figures have their origin in an Aztec celebration, adapted to Christian tradition.

Generally one family takes charge of organizing the models, and offers its house as the last of nine posadas. Other groups form, one of which goes from house to house with the figures, asking for shelter. It is turned away at each house. At the last house, the figures are taken in and put on an altar. The celebrations continue with food and drink, singing and dancing and end with a piñata (↑ piñata a1).

posada nf

1. [fonda] inn, guesthouse

2. CAm, Méx [fiesta] Christmas party

A posada is a traditional Mexican Christmas party which takes place on one of the nine days before Christmas. To begin with, some of the guests go outside to represent Mary and Joseph, and sing a song asking for a room for the night (this is “pedir posada”). The guests inside sing the response, inviting them in, and the party begins. Along with traditional Christmas fare such as “tamales” (steamed corn dumplings), and drinks such as “ponche” (Christmas punch), there will be a “piñata” for the children. This is a cardboard or papier-mâché container which is suspended over people's heads, and which the children each in turn try to break with a stick while blindfolded. When the “piñata” breaks, its contents are scattered on the floor and there is a rush to gather up the candies.
