Riding Mill Posada 2023
The celebration, also known as posada (Spanish for inn or lodging), is a religious festival celebrated in Mexico that commemorates the journey Joseph and Mary made from Nazareth to Bethlehem in search of a safe place to stay where Mary could give birth to Jesus.
St James’ Church in Riding Mill together with Broomhaugh Church of England First School each have an identical Posada. Here are the records of their journey through the village and surrounding areas.

The Broomhaugh Church of England First School Posada Photos are here – for they, too, brought their Posada to Church after it had travelled around the village and beyond. (The School have agreed that we may use these photos on our website)
