During the Advent season there are many things do to do to celebrate and prepare for the coming of Christ on Christmas day; some put up Christmas Trees, others their Advent Wreaths. But amidst all the hustle and bustle of shopping, wrapping presents and looking for a great parking spot at the mall -- one of the most meaningful traditions is to participate in a posada.
On Dec. 19, the Young Adult Advisory Council of the archdiocese hosted their second annual posada for 11 retired priests resided at Padua Place. A posada tells the story of Joseph and Mary’s search for shelter as they arrive in Bethlehem and look for a place to stay before baby Jesus is born; posada means inn or lodging.
