NORWALK, CA - Assemblymember Mendoza will join hands with community members to re-enact the Christmas story in the Mexican tradition of Las Posadas on Thursday, December 16th from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. in Artesia. The event is free and open to the public.
“We will form a procession, chant through the streets of Artesia and talk to neighbors about issues of their concern,” said Assemblymember Mendoza. “It’s a great opportunity to admire the holiday decorations before eating some delicious tamales with members of the community.”
The Posadas are a Mexican tradition that starts on December 16th and continues until Christmas Eve. It is a warm and festive celebration of friendship and good neighborliness that is held every night. It represents the journey from Nazareth that Mary and Joseph underwent before finding a place to stay where Jesus could be born in Bethlehem. The evening will conclude with tamales and refreshments. The festive tradition dates back to the 16th century.
Assemblymember Mendoza, a teacher and chair of the California Latino Legislative Caucus, proudly represents the 56th District.
