Scenes from the Jimenez Family Posadas on December 18th, 2016 in Castroville. In a pre-Christmas tradition they began in 1957, friends, family and guests celebrate the holiday season together. Posada” means “inn” in Spanish, and for this occasion, children dressed as Biblical figures reenacted Mary and Joseph's search for shelter during their Biblical journey from Nazareth to Bethlehem. Moving from house to house, the “peregrinos,” or pilgrims, trade touching verses in song with the “hosteleros,” the innkeepers, inside, until at last, shelter is found.
