In the final days of Advent, the Church turns its heart to the physical journey Mary and Joseph took from Nazareth to Bethlehem. For parishes, classrooms, and families looking to honor this journey and celebrate rich cultural heritages, this Las Posadas figurine serves as a beautiful and educational devotional piece. Crafted with the signature artistry of Joseph's Studio, it brings a beloved Christmas custom directly into your seasonal displays. Las Posadas (Spanish for "The Inns" or "The Shelters") is a traditional novena and community celebration held chiefly in Latin America and Hispanic communities from December 16th through Christmas Eve. It commemorates the nine days of Mary and Joseph’s arduous search for a safe place to stay in Bethlehem. During the procession, participants act as pilgrims (peregrinos), traveling from house to house singing traditional hymns to request shelter, eventually being welcomed inside for prayer, fellowship, and festive foods. This high-quality 9" scale Joseph's Studio statue perfectly encapsulates the spirit of the peregrinos. Traditional Depiction: Features the Blessed Virgin Mary, heavily pregnant and riding gently upon a donkey, while St. Joseph walks beside her, leading the way with a staff and a steady, protective gaze. Precise Dimensions: Stands 10 inches tall, 8.25 inches wide, and 6.25 inches deep—an ideal size for tabletops, family prayer altars, or school lobby showcases. Masterful Stoneware Look: Cast in a durable resin and stone mix, this figurine features the meticulous hand-painting and realistic fabric textures that Joseph's Studio is famous for, ensuring the piece looks stunning from any angle. Celebrate the journey of faith and the warmth of hospitality. This Las Posadas figurine by Roman Inc. is a beautiful, long-lasting investment that teaches families the true meaning of welcoming Christ into our homes and hearts.
