What is a Posada?Posada is the Spanish word for ‘inn’. It is a Christmas activity where small versions of Mary and Joseph travel around different households in the community and stay there for one night.Chorlton Posada 2019We will have a Posada (travelling knitted crib figures) this Advent as in previous years. The figures leave church on Advent Sunday and return to church in time for the Tableau on Christmas Eve, 5.30pm.The purpose is to help us focus on themes such as migration, hospitality, refugees, homelessness, and to bring the journey of Mary and Joseph into the forefront of our minds as we prepare for Christmas. We are looking for individuals, groups and families who may be interested in hosting Mary and Joseph for a night. People who took part previous years were very positive about the experience.Before the start of Advent I hope I have a list of those who would like to take part with possible dates. Please let one of the ministry team know if you are interested or sign up for an evening and night that would suit you.You can track their adventure over on our Twitter account and under the hashtag #AChorltonChristmas on social medias. They'll be visiting local people and places throughout December - make sure to snap a photo of your own sighting!
