La Posada sin Fronteras without Borders
Each year at Christmastime, all across Latin America, small groups of people gather to observe a tradition called las posadas. The word posada means “dwelling place” and in the ritual people re-enact the search of Mary and Joseph for a place to stay on the night of Jesus’ birth. One group of people sings the part of Joseph, pidiendo posada – “asking for a place to stay.” Others sing the part of the casero or “homeowner,” refusing to offer refuge. For almost twenty years faithful people have gathered at San Diego’s most famous cross-border meeting place, Friendship Park, to celebrate this historic ritual with friends from Tijuana. We hope you will join us this year on Saturday, December 10, at 2 pm.
Please plan for a 40 minute walk to get there from the Border Field Park gate. Wear warm clothes and good walking shoes. Be sure and bring your ID. It is a beautiful walk along the beach. Click here for the flyer with contact information for people in Mexico or USA
