A holiday celebration rooted in the Latino community and Catholicism begins today. Christmas posadas take place over nine days to represent Mary and Joseph’s journey. Las Posadas Navideñas, or Christmas Posadas, is a novenario, a celebration over nine days every year from December 16-24. Posadas directly translate to inns, since it’s a commemoration of Mary and Joseph’s journey to find a safe place for Jesus' birth.
