Pinata Making with Adriana Gamez

According to the Catholic doctrine of struggle and temptation, each point represents one of the seven deadly sins: pride, greed, wrath, envy, lust, gluttony, and sloth. What was once constructed around a clay pot that was meant to represent evil, piñatas are now made with a paper maché container in modern times. The fruit and candy inside symbolize the temptations of evil. Nowadays, the piñata has lost its religious significance and is used in many types of celebrations.
