The Christmas season officially gets underway this weekend with two longstanding traditions. The 26th Annual Las Posadas celebration is set for Friday and the 78th Annual Candlelight takes place Saturday. Las Posadas reenacts Joseph and Mary’s search for lodging on the eve of the birth of Jesus. The Candlelight celebration includes dinner, an Advent Prayer Service, caroling in the Moye Rotunda and a dance.
