Instead of having an after-school meeting for the month of December, the Spanish Club will celebrate Las Posadas, a traditional Mexican custom that celebrates Christmas.
The club will travel to the Eiteljorg Museum on Dec. 9 to watch actors reenact the classic story of Mary and Joseph searching for a place to stay where Jesus could be born.
Kay Vazquez, club sponsor and Spanish teacher, said, “It’s a cultural benefit for members just to see this custom as it is celebrated in Mexico.”
Sydney Miller, club president and junior, said, “It’s a Mexican custom that people aren’t very familiar with so it exposes them to a more realistic culture.”
