María Pérez urged the inhabitants of the San Sebastian neighborhood to participate responsibly using masks and social distancing
Posada of the year 2017, in the nine days of posadas the children of the town receive bolos of sweets and sometimes even tamales, among other surprises from the family that is sponsoring the posada that day.
Sofía Medeles (Ajijic, Jal.)- After a year’s absence the posadas will be celebrated again in downtown Ajijic, at least in the neighborhood of San Sebastián and its surroundings.
The organizer for 56 years of the posadas, Mrs. Maria Perez, made a call to the inhabitants of the neighborhood to participate in a responsible manner in view of the current pandemic situation.
She asked the attendees to wear masks throughout the event, and to respect as much as possible, healthy distance.
The posadas will be held from Thursday, December 16 to Friday, December 24, at the usual time of 5:00 in the afternoon. For the first tour, the villagers will meet in front of the parish of San Andrés Apóstol, and from there they will go up Marcos Castellanos Street with the first hosts: Becky and Juan Gil who have their home on Zaragoza Street. The following day, they will meet at the same address to continue their tour to another host house, belonging to Mrs. Cuca López and family.
Maria Perez, said the traditional dynamics will be changed a little due to the pandemic situation. It’s possible that the piñata will not be broken at the end of the singing in all cases. In addition, she urged the Ajijic residents to preserve the traditions, and above all the faith, since this custom has its origin in the Catholic religion.
The hosts for each day will be: Thursday 16 with Becky and Juan Gil; Friday 17 with Cuca López; Saturday 18 with the Higuera family; Sunday 19 with Lourdes and Manuel; Monday 20 with Mónica Ángulo; Tuesday 21 with Mary die Pérez in La Ciruelera; Wednesday 22 with Pina Gutiérrez; Thursday 23 with Carmen Martínez; and finally, Friday 24 with Quique and Luis. All these, in the streets of the downtown area of Ajijic.
