We studied Mexico last week with our Christmas around the world studies from Living Life Intentionally. After learning about Mexico, I decided to make a LEGO Pyramid. My LEGO pyramid while similar in structure is quite different then those created by the Aztecs as it bears the cross of Jesus Christ on top.
I have included a simple instructional pyramid build for my viewers. I hope you enjoy building it and are inspired to learn more about Mexico's Christmas traditions. The tradition I liked best was posadas. They do a nine day re-enactment of Mary and Joseph looking for a place to stay. After the ninth day, they are invited to enter. What a wonderful reminder of how Mary and Joseph were turned away so many times before there was room in the inn. God had a plan though, it was the perfect place for Jesus to be born.
Celebrate Christ today!

So fun, love the pyramid. I visited once on one of my trips to Mexico. Glad you enjoyed the Posadas article. ~mari
