Nativity Scenes – All Saints’, Ockbrook & St Stephen’s, Borrowash
If you are visiting us for one of our services or even just passing our churches on a walk, look out for our Nativity scenes displayed outside each of our churches.
Posada Ockbrook & Borrowash
Throughout December, Mary and Joseph have been travelling around the parish. Have you spotted them around our villages and on social media? Head to their dedicated Facebook Page – Posada Ockbrook & Borrowash or to the Church Facebook Page to find out where they have been and follow the rest of their journey.
Originating in Hispanic countries to help celebrate the Christmas story, ‘Posada’ is a period of time during Advent when toy figures from the nativity story travel around the community and stay somewhere for a night or two. The figures are then passed on to the next host. It’s a fun way to share the Christmas story around a community and to send messages of goodwill between hosts.
