Las Posadas

Las Posadas – the Travellers Journey Begins – Today both churches will welcome Joseph, Mary and the Donkey and they will go home with a parish family until another offers them lodgings for the night.  They may stay at each home for one night or several, depending who is next to receive them. The home giving lodgings will each make them comfortable and when they leave offer hospitality (tea & mince pies or similar) to the parishioner/s collecting and send them away with prayers for their onward journey. The last parishioner/s with them will then return the travellers at our Christmas service. If you want to be part of this travelling nativity please let Teresa (St W) or Mary/Sandra (St G) know.
