Nativity Posada

This Advent, we were delighted to offer room in our home and hearts to a beautiful nativity posada figurine visiting a different family in our church community each night of Advent. How excited we all were - in good spirits and open hearts to receive the posada.
The custom of Posada originated in Mexico where two young people were chosen to dress up as Mary and Joseph. They used to travel from house to house in their village telling people about the imminent arrival of Jesus and asking them if they would give him a room.
Enriching our Advent.
