‘Posada’ – Travelling Crib

Welcome Mary & Joseph to stay at your place

There’s a way to welcome Mary and Joseph into your home this Christmas through a lovely tradition originating in Mexico. ‘Posada’ (Spanish for ‘inn’) is a Christmas activity when small versions of Mary and Joseph travel around different households  and stay there for one night.  Posada is a chance to host Mary and Joseph – to make room for Jesus at Christmas time!  This activity helps us to remember the journey Mary and Joseph made to Bethlehem, and as a family take time to stop and think about the true meaning of Christmas.
