This cherished tradition of the Posada beautifully reenacts the biblical tale of Mary and Joseph’s pilgrimage to Bethlehem, as they seek a haven for the night. It is also a time to celebrate, express heartfelt gratitude, and offer a fond farewell to Our Lady of Pompei Church, which has graciously embraced the community and Creative Alliance since 2014.

With the arrival of the Spanish, new culinary techniques and seasonings were incorporated, giving rise to hornado as we know it today. Warm the soul (and belly) this fall at the Artesanas Table!
