which Joseph traveled to find a place where his wife, the
Virgin Mary, could Give birth to the Baby Jesus. In this
celebration traditional songs are produced, a pilgrimage with
typical costumes and figures of Joseph, Mary and Jesus and
the prayers corresponding to this religious tradition of El
Salvador.

Another of the most representative customs of Christmas in El
Salvador are the agglomerations of people willing to buy their
Christmas presents and the already known "premieres" in the
most representative shopping centers of the country. The

appliances and many stores, is part of the Christmas
atmosphere in El Salvador.
