Las Posadas ("The Inns") is a Mexican tradition in which Mary & Joseph's search for an inn is re-enacted. They go to each inn and sing a song requesting refuge, only to be rejected (see mean innkeepers below who have no sympathy!).
Here at Holden, a procession of "Joseph & Mary" figurines and all people in the village went from inn to inn, finally to be let in with warm hospitality (which looked a lot like a Mexican fiesta in the village dining hall, with live music, Mexican food, and a celebratory atmosphere)!
