THIS MAY BE THE ORIGINAL VERSION: A Posada is a Mexican tradition that takes place during the month of December, and that started out of the intense efforts of evangelization of the friars in the 16th Century. It is believed that the Indians had festivals to celebrate a good harvest or to honor their god Huitzilopochtli, and that these festivals were replaced by the Posadas as a form of worshiping the Christian God. Nobody really knows who were the first people to hold these rites, but tradition says it all started in a place named San Agustin de Acolman in the State of Mexico.
