A beautiful depiction of Joseph fleeing with Mary and their unborn baby to safety, this statue is a perfect addition to your family's home this year as a way to commemorate the La Posada tradition, in which Mary and Joseph travel from Nazareth to Bethlehem in search of shelter for Mary to birth Jesus. The La Posada statue honors that by depicting Joseph leading Mary, who is riding on a donkey. La Posada is often acted by children who go from home to home carrying the statue while acting the scenes of Mary and Joseph being turned away from inns. Your La Posada statue is part of the Joseph-Studio Renaissance Collection. Rest assured, with a piece from this studio, every inch of your La Posada statue is taken into consideration. Crafted from a durable resin and stone mix and measuring 10 inches high, the deep colors and tired faces on Joseph and Mary give emotion and feeling to their long journey and frustration at being turned away from so many inns. Start the La Posada tradition in your family this year and get your family and friends involved! Your La Posada statue is gift boxed so that you can share this gift with others this Christmas season.
