Las Posadas; No Room at the Inn

Las Posadas is a meaningful Christmas tradition in Spain and many Latin American countries. The term literally translates to "the inns" but figuratively refers to the shelter that Mary and Joseph sought on their way to Bethlehem. During the nine evenings preceding Christmas Eve, groups of family and friends will gather to re-enact Mary and Joseph's journey and each night a house will be designated as the "inn" that will allow them inside. As they walk the streets, the groups sing villancicos. Presented by Monica Zanetti of Wild Rose. Part of the Liturgical Arts Festival of Springfield.
