SUMMARY:Las Posadas / Miércoles Advent Celebration
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, December 17 at 6:30 PM\nbeginning in the church  \nLas Posadas\, Spanish for “the inns\,” is an Advent celebration of hospitality in Mexico and some parts of Central and South America. The Posadas symbolize Mary and Joseph’s long\, frustrating search for a place to stay where Jesus could be born. \nSt Margaret’s La Mesa Ministry will be bringing a touch of drama\, playfulness\, and Latino culture to our Advent traditions by observing the liturgy of Las Posadas\, which depicts Joseph and Mary’s long-suffering search for shelter on Wednesday\, December 17 at 6:30 pm. \nLas Posadas involves a flexible program of prayers\, processions\, and singing as characters dressed as Joseph and Mary are turned away again and again. Finally\, they are welcomed into a humble refuge\, followed by a fiesta of sharing traditional foods and smashing a seven-pointed piñata representing the deadly sins. \nAdvent provides many opportunities to welcome the stranger and offer genuine hospitality in our homes and our churches. As you wait for the birth of Jesus\, practice the same hospitality toward the visitor or outsider that you would offer Mary and Joseph. \nDo not neglect to show hospitality to strangers\, for by doing that some have entertained angels without knowing it. ~ Hebrews 13:2 \n  \n  \nMiércoles\, 17 de diciembre a las 6:30 p.m.\nComenzando en la iglesia \n  \nLas Posadas\, palabra española que significa “las posadas” o “los albergues\,” es una celebración de Adviento sobre la hospitalidad\, muy común en México y en algunas partes de Centro y Sudamérica. Las Posadas simbolizan la larga y frustrante búsqueda de María y José por un lugar donde Jesús pudiera nacer. \nEl Ministerio La Mesa de St. Margaret’s traerá un toque de drama\, alegría y cultura latina a nuestras tradiciones de Adviento al celebrar la liturgia de Las Posadas el miércoles 17 de diciembre a las 6:30 p.m.\, representando la perseverante búsqueda de refugio por parte de José y María. \nLas Posadas incluyen un programa flexible de oraciones\, procesiones y cantos\, en el que los personajes vestidos como José y María son rechazados una y otra vez. Finalmente\, son recibidos en un refugio humilde\, seguido por una fiesta donde se comparten comidas tradicionales y se rompe una piñata de siete puntas\, que representa los pecados capitales. \nEl Adviento nos ofrece muchas oportunidades para acoger al forastero y ofrecer hospitalidad sincera en nuestros hogares y en nuestras iglesias. Mientras esperas el nacimiento de Jesús\, practica la misma hospitalidad hacia el visitante o el extraño que ofrecerías a María y José. \n“No se olviden de practicar la hospitalidad\, porque por ella algunos\, sin saberlo\, hospedaron ángeles.”\n~ Hebrews 13:2
