Description

Music and dance animate Director Park during Las Posadas, a tradition commemorating Mary and Joseph’s search for shelter.

Dressed as the pregnant Virgin Mary and her husband, Joseph, a couple moves from door to door, singing a plea for shelter. Each time, the innkeepers respond in song, turning them away. After a long journey, the couple is finally welcomed into a stable, where a joyful chorus breaks out and the community gathers to share a meal. The next night, the ritual begins again.
