This Advent at church, we have had a Posada. Posada is a Mexican tradition where figurines of Mary and Joseph are given lodgings at various homes throughout Advent to represent their journey to Bethlehem. We have kept a diary with our Mary and Joseph to record their journey. On Christmas morning, they will be taken to church and then they will be placed in the Nativity scene in the window. From now until Christmas morning, they will be staying with me. It seems somehow appropriate that Mary should be lodging with a midwife on the final stage of the journey!
