Jake and Vereni hosted a family dinner at their house on Saturday December 19. Vereni introduced our family to the Mexican tradition of celebrating Las Posadas. The nine-day celebration lasts from December 16 to December 24. It is a time when people remember the journey of Joseph and Mary to Bethlehem and their search for shelter in their time of need. Showing hospitality is important during the festival of Las Posadas, welcoming people into your homes as family, singing with them and sharing a meal, extending the hospitality that was denied to Joseph and Mary and the expected Jesus.
