December 18, 2012 > Posadas in Newark Posadas in Newark In the Mexican tradition, a pi–ata represents the devil who often wears an attractive mask to attract humanity. Traditional pi–atas have seven points to represent the seven deadly sins, greed, gluttony, sloth, pride, envy, wrath and lust. The sightless participant represents the force of faith against evil.
