Toute l\u2019ann\u00e9e, les enfants attendent le temps des festivit\u00e9s autour de Christmas<\/a> (entre le 16 et le 24 d\u00e9cembre) pour participer \u00e0 l\u2019ouverture de la Pinata. D\u2019o\u00f9 vient cette tradition?<\/p>\n

First of all, the Pinata is an object made of cardboard covered with colored paper and stuffed with candy and tropical fruits. Originally, it represented a multicolored star with seven to nine points, but over time, it took on shapes as varied as the donkey, the horse, the giant flower, the teddy bear, and others.<\/p>\n

The origin<\/strong><\/p>\n

Some people are convinced that the Pinata comes from a Mexican rite introduced by Spanish evangelists in the 16th century.e<\/sup> century, while others argue that this tradition originated from Aztec celebrations that coincided with Christian Christmas. Some suggest that the Pinata first originated in Italy or China. It seems, in fact, that the Chinese made animal shapes covered in colors.<\/p>\n

The materials<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the past, pinatas were made from terracotta, onto which pieces of paper or silky fabric were glued. Later, they were made from a paste of newspaper mixed with water and flour. They are still found in Mexico and other parts of South America, but the tradition is dying out. More recent pinatas have simply become balloons covered with crepe paper.<\/p>\n

The process<\/strong><\/p>\n

Les enfants petits et grands raffolent de ce rituel qui se d\u00e9roule dans la joie. La Pinata doit \u00eatre suspendue \u00e0 un lien, entre deux arbres, sous une voute ou un haut plafond. Les enfants portent tous un bandeau sur les yeux et tiennent un b\u00e2ton. En tournant, ils doivent faire en sorte de frapper la Pinata de fa\u00e7on \u00e0 ce qu\u2019elle se brise et laisse \u00e9chapper son<\/a> fameux tr\u00e9sor qu\u2019ils devront partager.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
