The origin of this festivity comes after the conquest of Mexico, the Christian religious orders used posadas to as a way to teach local indigenous about Christianity, specially to understand the birth of Jesus Crist and the challenges lived by Joseph and Mary before the birth. Today Mexicans celebrate posadas with ponche, piñatas and songs as part of the tradition and hang out with friends and partners.
