In the wake of Oak Lawn United Methodist Church in Dallas making a statement against President Donald Trump’s mass deportation efforts with a nativity scene that depicts Mary, Joseph, and Jesus as modern-day immigrants behind a barbed wire fence, events like Las Posadas remind us about the true spirit behind the beloved Christmas tale.
Celebrated globally in Latin American communities, Las Posadas reenacts the journey of Mary and Joseph as they travel to Bethlehem in search of shelter for the birth of Jesus.
The goal of the reenactment is for participants to walk in the shoes of those who were considered outsiders, and to remind us that we still need to care for our most vulnerable
