Las Posadas
Los Posadas, (Spanish for 'The Inns') is a religious festival celebrated in Mexico and other Spanish speaking areas. It commemorates the journey Joseph and Mary made from Nazareth to Bethlehem in search of a safe refuge where Mary could give birth to the baby Jesus. Unable to find lodging in Bethlehem, Joseph and Mary were forced to seek shelter in a stable, where the Christ Child was born.

At Saint Andrew's, our members take home these statues to 'host' for a night or two.
Share a meal, listen to music, take a picture with the statues,
fill out a page in the traveling journal, or just enjoy their time in private.
