Las Posadas lasts nine nights, from December 16 to December 24, and each night neighbors walk from house to house acting out Mary and Joseph's search for a room in Bethlehem. The PROCESSION carries CANDLES and sings a back and forth song in which the PILGRIMS ask for SHELTER and the INNKEEPER refuses, until one house finally lets them in. Then comes the party, with a PINATA, TAMALES, BUNUELOS and hot PONCHE. Words run across, down, backwards and up.
