Las Posadas is more than a celebration. It’s prayer, community, hospitality, and joy woven together across nine days before Christmas.

In this video, Fr. Bill John Acosta shares the meaning behind this beloved Mexican tradition: the procession with Mary and Joseph, the nightly rosary, the gathering to share food, and even the history of the piñata and its spiritual symbolism.

For many Hispanic Catholics, Las Posadas is a way to walk with the Holy Family as we prepare our hearts for Christ at Christmas.
