In the month of December, Latin American countries have their own unique traditions for celebrating the holidays. In Colombia, the holiday season begins with the Día de las Velitas, when families light candles in honor of the Virgin Mary and her Immaculate Conception. In Mexico the posadas is the reenactment of Joseph and Mary who seek refuge on their way to Bethlehem.
