After a successful presentation on Day of the Dead, we embark on a festive journey through Mexico’s December celebrations, where tradition, family, and faith come alive in vibrant displays. This presentation offers English-speaking visitors and locals alike a deeper understanding of Mexico’s unique holiday rituals, from the heartfelt Peregrinaciones to the lively Posadas, filling streets and homes with songs, candles, and cheer. We’ll explore the playful Día de los Inocentes, the arrival of the Three Wise Men, and the shared delight of the Rosca de Reyes. https://www.facebook.com/events/1398123481164747/
