A "Posada" Christmas performance at Torres

Last evening, we enjoyed a "Posada" at Torres (our timeshare here in Mazatlan). A Posada is a Christmas festival originating in Latin America that dramatizes Joseph and Mary's search for lodging. It was held on the grounds of Torres and was performed by Torres employees with Mary riding on a real donkey. Baby Jesus was a real baby too. The costumes and props were very realistic with the story of Joseph and Mary being read from the scriptures. It was a beautiful performance.



During the performance, the children from one of the orphanages (The Salvation Army) sang for us. Below is a video clip of a very popular Christmas song here in Mexico. We don't know the name of it but we have heard it frequently during this holiday season and we are sure the song is about the birth of Jesus. Remember to double-click the picture to enlarge it. Enjoy!
