Come Celebrate Christmas with Mary and Joseph
​
Sts P&P Hosts Bellville's - An Evening at LAS POSADAS 
Dec. 23rd
6:00pm on the Church grounds.
    

EVERYONE IS INVITED TO PARTICIPATE
​T​he Posadas re-enact Mary and Joseph's cold and difficult journey from Nazareth to Bethlehem in search of shelter; in Spanish, the word means "lodging."
Guests gather outside with children dressed as shepherds, angels, Mary and Joseph. An angel leads the procession, followed by Mary and Joseph . The "pilgrims”, holding candles, sing a song asking for shelter, and the hosts sing a reply, finally opening the doors to the guests and offering festive foods.  
Rosary will be said in English and Spanish. Abuelita (Mexican Hot Chocolate) and Pan Dulce to follow in Fuchs Hall. Party ends with a piñata in the shape of the Christmas star.
Las Posadas is a wonderful way to help children – and all of us – keep the focus of the season on whom and what Christmas celebrates.
