    Community members are invited to join with California Lutheran University students and staff to re-enact the Christmas story in the Mexican tradition of Las Posadas from 7 to 9 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 4.

    In the university’s annual event, students representing Mary and Joseph will travel by donkey through campus seeking shelter for the birth of their son. Other students, staff and visitors holding candles will walk with them from the Student Union to Lundring Events Center. The evening will conclude with a piñata and refreshments of hot chocolate and pan dulce (sweet bread). This festive Mexican tradition dates back to the 16th century.

    The Student Union is located at 3391 Mountclef Blvd. on the Thousand Oaks campus.

    Cal Lutheran’s Latin American Student Organization and Office of Multicultural Programs and International Student Services are sponsoring the free event. For more information, contact Linda Boberg at [email protected] or 805-493-3323.
