Last week, I went to a posada, a traditional religious celebration where the search for a place to stay by Joseph and Mary before their son is born is reenacted with litanies and lighting candles. Other activities that are done include breaking a piñata, drinking punch and traditional food of the season, and nowadays modern performances are also part of it.
Though I missed most of the posada because I arrived late —I thought I was just a bit late, but the posada actually started on time, something unheard in this neck of the woods—, I got there to eat some food from the stands, and I got to see one performance where a man dances with fire. Also some people started some bonfires where they just hung out by it, and it was just a good feel all around.
