Posadas, a nine-day traditional Mexican celebration leading up to Christmas Eve, was celebrated at St. Stephen Church in Bentonville. Part of this celebration includes a Pastorela, a play recreating the journey of the shepherds following the Star of Bethlehem to find Jesus in the manger. It was great to share this traditional with Spanish- and English-speaking parishioners.
