Why does a statue go from home to home?
-
The origin of this custom is the so-called shelter seeking that is the holy family on their way to Bethlehem, seeking a shelter where they could stay for the night, and where Mary could give birth to Jesus.
Out of the recollection of this event grew the medieval Frauentragen (carrying of Our Lady) in Germany, and later the so called Posada (house, dwelling, inn) in Hispanic countries. The custom is a 'spiritual compensation' for the innkeeper's refusal to invite the Holy Family into his inn.
Today we will have the Sacred Heart of Jesus enter each home for a greater understanding of the Eucharist and God's infinite mercy.
