Christians throughout Latin America celebrate a novena before Christmas of meditations and feasts inviting participants to give shelter to the newborn King in their lives. Posadais the Spanish word for “to take shelter” or “to take in.”

Hispanic communities invite the entire community to take the Christ child in our hearts in Posada celebrations.
