Las Posadas
Saturday, December 17, 2022, 04:30pm |
The Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd will be holding its celebration of Las Posadas on Saturday evening, December 17, starting at 4:30 p.m. in the church parish hall, located at the corner of Texas and 7th Streets. After brief readings and prayers, those gathered will then walk to Amma Guadalupe, The Pink Store, The Ice Cream Emporium, and Mimbres Realty, all business located on Bullard Ave. At each stop, the “travelers”, dressed as Mary, Joseph and their companions will re-enact the Holy Family requesting shelter, posada. They will be refused shelter and will have to keep journeying to the next site, circling back to arrive again at the church, where they will be welcomed and admitted. The one-night event is inspired by the tradition which originated in Mexico and is celebrated over 9 nights. Readings for Saturday’s one-night observance will include the stories of immigrants and refugees throughout U. S. history up to the present time. The public is invited to join in this celebration.
