The Posada

Tonight the whole town came out for the Posada, a re-enactment of the Virgin Mary and Joseph going from door to door to find a room at the inn to have their baby. A show of sorts was held at the front of the church first.














Then Mary and Joseph walked all around the town square (you will notice that they are a tad past child bearing age, but very sweet), followed by a procession of wise men, Roman centurian (who knows why he was there), kids, angels and then the town.
The live donkey was a hit, (why am I here and not in my nice comfortable barn???)
And a REAL sleeping baby in the manger.....seriously!!!!
