Each day corresponds to one month that baby Jesus was carried in the womb of the Virgin Mary. In Taos Las Posadas is celebrated throughout the county. It is a time to come together for nine days and nights of devotion to purification, meditation and getting in touch with the holiness of the season. The Posaditas go to different houses each night and are sent away, until the ninth night, when they are finally given posada shelter.

This is a look at the tradition of las posadas and how it originated. If you grew up in South Texas or the Catholic church, you may have heard of las posadas or participated in one. A group goes house to house singing Christmas or religious songs and at one point the singing group gets invited in for holiday treats and festivities. But, however, it has a deeper religious meaning to it. Las posadas was a tradition brought to Latin America by the Spanish and adopted in both Mexico and Guatemala.
The airy notes of a wooden flute and the ting-tong of a tortoise-shell drum float down the cobblestone street and into the rest of the town. A small crowd promenades through the narrow roads and alleyways, its members dressed warmly to keep out the December night chill. Some carry torches to light the way while others rest poles on their shoulders, supporting the weight of a wooden, altar-like platform with religious figurines adorning the top.
Children and adults alike march through the streets, stopping at pre-selected houses. The travelers sing back and forth with those who wait for them at each door. The traditional song they sing goes something like this:. En nombre del cielo pedimos posada, Pues no puede andar mi esposa amada. Sigan adelante. No seas inhumano, tennos caridad. Ya se pueden ir y no molestar, Porque si me enfado os voy a apalear. Venimos rendidos desde Nazaret. No me importa el nombre.
Pues que yo les digo, que no hemos de abrir. This exchange continues until the members are welcomed into the house to partake in a joyous celebration. Have you seen anything like this before? You may have witnessed it in certain areas in the United States as it has grown in popularity in the past couple of decades.
