Welcoming Mary & Joseph

Las Posadas is a tradition in some cultures that welcomes an actual “Mary” and an actual “Joseph” as they process from home to home in the 9 days prior to Christmas.

In our tradition, we are sharing a one-piece nativity set that travels from home to home. Welcome the nativity set. Host it for a night or two. Say the included prayer or light a candle (how will you make it important to you?). Then get the set to the next home and take a picture of the new host with the nativity scene.

Activities, prayers, readings for the home.

Gathering is the key. How we gather is up to us. This resource combines coloring, crafting, and family prayers.

A word a day. A prayer a day.

AdventWord is a favorite resource each year. There is a word for each day. It might prompt a particular prayer. You might see it reflected in the world around you and take a picture and share it with #AdventWord2024

You can sign up to receive daily email reflections focused on the word of the day.
