It’s
Christmas Eve.
Enliven your
Christmas eve celebration with a Hispanic tradition called Las Posadas (from
the Spanish word meaning shelter), which recreates the Holy Family’s search for
lodging.
Have two
children play the roles of Mary and Joseph. Other family members are innkeepers
and go to different rooms, waiting behind closed doors until “Mary” and
“Joseph” knock. Each innkeeper turns them away, but joins the procession. The
last innkeeper says yes, all proceed to the manger, Jesus is placed in the
crib, and the Nativity story is read.
Remind the
children to speak either Spanish or Aramaic!
