Las Posadas had another successful run at Ascension during Advent. Beginning Dec. 16 and continuing through Christmas Eve, the Posadas are a reenactment of the Bible story of Mary and Joseph’s journey to Bethlehem and their search for a place to stay. There is prayer, singing, shared food and piñatas. It is a great time of celebration and preparation for Christmas.
Children are dressed as Mary and Joseph. It is an honor to be chosen!
Mary and Joseph lead the people to the various doors, were a special song is sung.
