The "Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe", which is celebrated on Dec. 12, is a major Mexican holiday celebrating the appearance of the Virgin Mary to an Indian man in the first years of Spanish ruling. She is the patron saint of the country and is followed closely by Posadas which is a nine-day celebration in which people reenact Mary and Joseph's journey to Bethlehem to search for shelter. Families go from door to door carrying candles and singing and asking for shelter until the owners open the door, at which point the party begins.
