The Night Of Las Posadas

Christmas Eve in Santa Fe is celebrated by the traditional procession Las Posadas. Sister Angie arranges for the people of a nearby mountain village to re-enact Mary and Joseph's search for shelter the night baby Jesus was born. But when sister Angie becomes sick and the couple playing Mary and Joseph get stuck in a snowstorm, only a miracle can save Las Posadas. Tomie dePaola's glorious paintings, illuminated by the farolitos that light the way for the procession as it winds through the Plaza, capture the spirit and beauty of this southwestern Christmas tradition.
