The Travelling Crib


Today is the first Sunday of Advent and we had to receive the Travelling Crib in Church. We were very nervous but all went well.
This follows a Mexican custom where during Advent people dressed as Mary & Joseph travelled around there villages knocking on peoples' door to find hospitality.
We looked after Mary & Joseph for one night and then we delivered it to the next family on the list. We had to knock on their door and then we were invited in to have tea and cake. I loved it I played with the little girl whose name was Sarah and she was 6 and went to St Andrew's School too.
