Posada

Posada is an old Mexican tradition where young people dressed as Mary and Joseph travelled from house to house, asking for a room for the night and telling people about the imminent arrival of Jesus in the weeks leading up to Christmas.  On Christmas Eve they would visit the local church to re-enact the nativity and place figures of Mary and Joseph in a crib.Modern-day Posada uses nativity figures of Mary and Joseph (and a donkey) who travel from place to place, with a special bag containing a book, prayers and more.  Will you be a host to Mary and Joseph for a night?  Speak to Chris or email [email protected]
