Las Posadas is an annual nine-day observance in the days before Christmas Eve. During Las Posadas, children dress up and reenact Mary and Joseph's journey to Bethlehem.
The tradition dates back to Spain more than 400 years ago, according to the Catholic website Franciscan Media. Christine Rousselle is a lifestyle reporter with Fox News Digital.
It made its way to Central America with the arrival of the Spanish, and has been observed as a key part of Mexican and Mexican-American Christmas celebrations since.
