Saint Frances Cabrini School Embraces Las Posadas Tradition
Las Posadas is a tradition celebrated in
Mexico and other Latin American coun-
tries where for nine days, from Decem-
ber 16-24, believers reenact the journey
of the Holy Family as they searched for
lodging in Bethlehem. This tradition has
been adopted by Saint Frances Cabrini
(SFC) fourth grade Spanish classes every
Christmas season. Posadas means “inn”
or “lodging” and this Advent tradition
was brought to Mexico by Spanish
Augustinian friars in the 16th century.
