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.
Posada around Cheam, Belmont and Worcester Park
This Advent, the figures of Mary & Joseph will be making their way around our parishes.
They will be hosted by a different church each week, before arriving at their final destination on Christmas Eve.
Come and see them, as they make their way around our communities!
