six.’ However, the ritual dance performance has precise movements and

gestures and it is done by ten boys which are decked in elaborate

costumes. On Christmas Eve referred to as ‘Nochebuena’ or ‘the Good Night’,

small oil lamps are lit out of all houses with the look of the

stars on the horizon. There’s a festive Christmas dinner to see relatives people
