Las Posadas (Spanish for "The Inns") is a nine-day celebration beginning December 16 and ending December 24, which is called Noche Buena ("Holy Night"). It is a yearly tradition for many Christian Latin Americans and symbolizes the trials which they believe Mary and Joseph endured before finding a place to stay and where Jesus could be born.

It depends on what language you are talking about.
In spanish it can mean both a feast, and to take a rest.
