Posadas
December 16 - 23 in the Parish Hall at 7:00pm
Las Posadas is a wonderful 400+ year old Advent celebration in many Latin countries. For nine days, from December 16-24, the faithful prepare for Christmas by acting out and reliving the days Mary and Joseph experienced as they journeyed to Bethlehem as told in the Gospels. They traveled from place to place seeking rest, only to be rejected, causing the Baby Jesus to be born in a manger. Participants sing Christmas carols, play the parts of Mary and Joseph and conclude with piñatas for the kids! -
