Next Thursday (December 29), one of CL’s long distance members will be helping us put on our very own Posada. This is a custom that began in Mexico and is now celebrated in some Latin American countries, and in the Southwest. For the nine days leading up to Christmas in which people recreate the journey of Mary and Joseph to Bethlehem. It’s a really cool custom, and we’re delighted to have our own version this year!
As always, we’ll meet at 7pm at St. Anthony school (see the Meetings page if you need directions). We’ll figure out the different parts then, and set up. Then we’ll have our Posada, and party! We’re asking people to bring the following things with them:
- Food for the party
- Candy for the pinata
- A rosary (the Posada culminates in saying the rosary together in front of the creche.
Also, if you someone would be willing to supply the pinata, that would be awesome!
See you there!
