This
is derived from a Mexican custom. Members of the congregation (and
friends) take it in turn to host Mary and Joseph for a night,
finding them somewhere to sleep, before passing them on to someone
else the next day.
Many
of the hosts take photographs, which are shown at the afternoon
service on Christmas Eve, when Mary
and Joseph arrive to take their place in the nativity.
The
photographs below follow Mary and Joseph as they travel around
Bratton Fleming (and beyond) throughout Advent
2018.
