Una Noche de Navidad and Las Posadas

For "Una Noche de Navidad" (A Night of Christmas), the Historic Florida Militia and the National Shrine at the Mission Nombre de Dios join forces to recreate a Spanish tradition that commemorates the search Mary and Joseph undertook for a safe place to stay before the birth of Jesus. In addition to the Procession of "Las Posadas" (the Inns), the mission will offer eucharistic adoration, a live nativity, as well as cookies and hot cocoa. This is a participatory event, with guests walking in the procession.

They are limiting the number participating each hour, and offer the opportunity to register for a specific time. There are spaces available at 3:00, 4:00, 5:00, 6:00, 7:00, and 8:00 p.m. Visit the website to register.

Admission: Free, although they accept donations, and suggest $5.00 per adult (ages 12 and older). If space allows, walk-ups are $10.00. Registration is required to attend the procession.

When: Saturday, December 21, 2024, from 3:00 to 9:00 p.m.
