Children Playing with a Pinata, December 1978
Add to SetSummary
Children wait their turn to take a swing at breaking open a pinata, likely filled with candy, small toys, or other treats. The photographer noted that the pinata was part of a Los Posadas celebration – a nine-day holiday commemorating Mary and Joseph's search for shelter in Bethlehem and celebrated by many members of the Latinx community every December.
