[ 책 소개 ]
Caldecott 수상작가인 Tomie dePaola의 아름다운 그림책(하드커버)입니다.
Las Posadas는 크리스마스 전 9일 동안 예수의 탄생을 축하하면서 아기 예수 탄생 때의 모습을 재현하는 축제입니다. 마을 사람들은 성모 마리나와 요셉 등 여러가지 역할로 분장을 하고 거리를 행진하면서, 말 구유에서 아기 예수를 낳기 까지의 과정을 재현합니다. 이런 Las Posadas 행사는 스페인, 멕시코 및 미국 남부의 히스패닉계 마을에서 아직도 성대하게 행해지고 있습니다.
이 책의 배경이 되는 곳은 미국 남부의 산타페 부근의 조그만 마을입니다. 연로하신 엔지 수녀님이 Las Posadas 행사를 맡게 되었습니다만, 올해는 조카 부부가 성모 마리아와 요셉의 역할을 하게 되어서 엔지수녀님은 무척 기뻤습니다. 수주일 동안 예행연습과 준비를 거쳐 드디어 Las Posada 행사를 하는 날, 엔지 수녀님은 깊은 병에 걸리게 되고, 설상가상으로 폭설이 쏟아지는 바람에 엔지 수녀님의 조카부부는 눈 속에 갇히게 됩니다. 기적이 일어나기 전에는 올해의 Las Posadas를 무사히 치를 수 없게 된 순간, 기다리는 마을 사람 앞에 엔지 수녀님의 친구를 자처하는 부부가 조랑말을 타고 나타나고...

Book Description
Sister Angie has organized the celebration of Las Posadas for many years, in which the people of Santa Fe re-enact Mary and Joseph's search for shelter on the night Jesus was born. This year's performance promises to be very special. Sister Angie's niece Lupe and Lupe's husband, Roberto, are to play the parts of Mary and Joseph. But on the night of the celebration, a snowstorm hits and Lupe and Roberto's car breaks down on their way into town. And to make matters worse, Sister Angie is home sick with the flu. It seems that only a miracle will be able to save Las Posadas.
Publishers Weekly
Hispanic holiday customs take center stage in this exquisitely wrought story. Lupe and Roberto are to play Mary and Joseph in the Christmas pageant in their village outside Santa Fe, but their truck gives out in a snowstorm. A mysterious couple steps in at the last minute to take their places. DePaola's talent for crafting folktales is honed to near-perfection, and his pages glow with the soft sun-washed hues of the Southwest.
School Library Journal
Another beautiful offering from dePaola, this one tells the story of a modern-day Las Posadas procession in Santa Fe, NM. An introduction explains the background and history of the old Spanish custom, and a glossary translates the few words of Spanish used in the text. Sister Angie, who recently celebrated her 50th anniversary as a nun, has always coordinated the preparations for her village's celebration. This year, she is especially proud as her niece, Lupe, and Lupe's new husband will portray Maria and Jose. The festivities are jeopardized when Sister Angie comes down with the flu and the young couple's car breaks down in a snowstorm. A miracle occurs when a beautiful carving of Mary and Joseph, given to Sister Angie to commemorate her Golden Jubilee, comes to life to lead the village's procession. The artist's distinctive acrylic artwork, done in the colors of the Southwest, illuminate the story and radiate its reverence and warmth. There are very few books for children about Las Posadas; this one is suitable both for reading aloud to groups and sharing one-on-one.
Booklist
An introduction describes Las Posadas, an old Spanish custom that commemorates Mary and Joseph's search for shelter in Bethlehem. In this story, set in Santa Fe, New Mexico, Sister Angie, a nun for 50 years, is thrilled that her niece Lupe and Lupe's husband, Roberto, will serve as Mary and Joseph trying to find a welcoming door in Santa Fe. On the day of Las Posadas, Sister Angie is down with the flu, and Lupe and Roberto are caught in a snowstorm. Happily, a pregnant woman and her husband, riding a mule and supposedly sent by Sister Angie, save the procession. Children soon realize it is a carving of Mary and Joseph come to life that has led the procession. Because the characters are all adults and the ending is predictable (though perhaps not as predictable for children as for grownups), this may have less appeal than some of dePaola's other works. The art, too, is staid, with many pictures featuring Sister Angie, Lupe and Roberto, a priest, and Mary and Joseph. What gives the illustrations most of their appeal are the pure winter colorings, whites, purples, deep greens, and blues. Many of the spreads are illuminated by farolitos, small lights that decorate the procession route. An author's note gives some of the same information as the introduction.
Kirkus Reviews
A wondrous occurrence, an ancient tradition, and an elderly nun's abiding faith are the basis of this moving Chirstmas tale from dePaola (26 Fairmount Avenue, p. 629, etc.). Sister Angie is overjoyed when her niece Lupe and her husband are selected to play Mary and Josephhere, Maria and Josfor Las Posadas, the reenactment of the journey into Bethlehem. When Sister Angie becomes ill and Lupe and Roberto become stranded in a heavy snowstorm, it seems as if the celebration will be delayed. However, a couple arrives just in time to take the place of the missing players. The whole village participates in the procession, from the singers who follow Mary and Joseph, to the ``devils'' who attempt to prevent the weary travelers from finding lodging. After several rebuffs, the couple arrives at the gates of the courtyard; these open and the entire assembly enters to celebrate. When Lupe and Roberto finally show up, the other couple is nowhere to be found. The story takes a supernatural twist when Sister Angie discovers that the figures in the church's manger scene have come to life, temporarily, for the procession. The mysteries and miracles of the season are kept at bay; this simple narrative spells everything out, resulting in a primer on the tradition. Richly hued, luminescent illustrations radiate from the pages; an introduction and author's note provide additional information.
