Celebrate the holy seasons of Advent with a beautiful Mexican tradition known as “Las Posadas” or “The Inns.”
Part Christmas pageant and part Christmas novena, a posada is a faith-filled, entertaining way to gather with loved ones, recall the journey of Joseph and Mary to Bethlehem, and prepare your heart for the birth of Our Savior.
At its heart, Las Posadas is a nine-day novena that starts on December 16 and runs through December 24. It typically involves family, friends, and communities coming together each evening to remember the Holy Family’s journey from Nazareth and their search to find a room in Bethlehem.
Participants begin with the prayer of the Rosary and re-enact the Holy Family’s journey, sometimes with children dressed as Joseph and Mary arriving at the door of the host’s home. Singing carols and sharing refreshments are important components of each evening’s gatherings.
St. Thomas More is thrilled to extend a warm invitation to our Posadas with the following schedule:
- December 16th (2-3 pm): PK-2 Grade
- December 17th (2-3 pm): 3-5th Grade
- December 18th (2-3 pm): 6-8th Grade
