Mariana Rodriguez and Jose Zapata portray Mary and Joseph in the 23rd archdiocesan posada at Holy Name Cathedral Dec. 13. This year’s theme was “La mujer, caminando con Jesús” (“The woman, walking with Jesus”). The celebration of posada -- which means “lodging” in Spanish -- commemorates Mary and Joseph's search for a place to stay in Bethlehem.
