Posada

1st December 2016

Monday 28th November

This week at the start of Advent, we begin a wonderful advent tradition of the Posada . As part of this tradition, each family welcomes Mary and Joseph into their  homes by sending the nativity figures from home to home throughout our school. Each  evening, a different pupil brings the nativity figures to their home. They place Mary, Joseph and the angel in a prominent position in their home and their adult lights the candle. With the figures there are included some prayers on a prayer card. The family may choose to say one or more of the prayers from the prayer card. The children are welcome to play with the nativity figures and their family  are welcome to keep one of the prayer cards. The box of figures is then returned to school the next morning and passed on to the next named family on the list.
