What is a Posada?


'Posada' is a Spanish word meaning 'shelter' or lodging and the title of a Mexican Advent tradition in which two people dressed as Mary & Joseph travelled from house to house in their village to proclaim the imminent arrival of Jesus and request that the newborn baby be given a room.
