This Christmas celebration, whose historic and religious background is quite complex (much like Christianity itself), has been a part of the Caribbean and Latin American cultural traditions for numerous centuries. 
Shamra shamra hizi za Noeli, ambazo historia na chimbuko lake bado ni utata mkubwa (kama tu ilivyo kwa Ukristo), kwa karne nyingi, zimekuwa ni sehemu ya utamaduni wa watu wa Amerika wenye asili ya Karibeani na Walatini.
