Oklahoma City parishioners find joy in Las Posadas

Singing takes place outside and inside, as they ask and the innkeepers refuse.

"In terms of me, it means tradition. It means unity. It means culture,” said Cyndi Jodlowski, account executive for KTUZ-TV, whose family roots are in Mexico. "It’s almost like a cultural ritual. It’s fun.”

Each day during the Posadas, parishioners will pray for the beloved Mary’s protection, said Sister Guadalupe Ortíz with Little Flower Catholic Church.
