Las Posadas in Mexico: The Nine-Day Christmas Procession with Candles, Song and the Colourful Piñata at the End – This is how it could look

Educational, vibrant, colourful atlas page about Las Posadas, Mexican Christmas tradition December 16th–24th. Three panels: 1) Posada Procession: street scene in Mexican village — children and adults in traditional costume walking in candlelight procession, some carrying clay figures of Mary and Joseph (peregrinos), all singing the traditional call-and-response Posada song. Warm glow of dozens of candles and paper bag lanterns (farolitos), houses decorated with papel picado. 2) Piñata: traditional seven-pointed-star piñata (clay pot covered in colourful tissue paper with seven cone-shaped points representing seven deadly sins), children queuing up to take a turn. 3) Foods: ponche (hot punch with tejocotes, sugar cane, tamarind), buñuelos, tamales. All labelled in Spanish and German.
