THE POSADAS IN GUATEMALA

It is a tradition of the country where it is remembered when Joseph and Mary looked for where to rest so that Jesus was born. 



It starts at night with a procession of the images of Jose and Mary. The people follow the procession with lanterns to light up, while they arrive at the house that is going to receive the inn.




In general, the inns begin on December 15, lasting 9 days, so that 8 houses are visited and on the ninth day they enter the church where it originates.
