CHILLIN Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 The annual Chapala Christmas display is up. A lot of hard work is evident. I have no idea what it looks like at night, but it is impressive in the sunshine with so many glitter objects. What is the scary red devil all about, and why are there so many burnt out candles, in what look like empty booze bottles around this edifice? Who is the saint like figure standing in a row boat? I don't remember that as part of Nativity lore either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WideSky Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 This might explain it - http://atxcatholic.com/index.php/2011/12/las-posadas-and-the-devil-at-the-nativity/#.WEiUwX3ivyM Not to mention that the same question was asked last year, this was the name of the post Why is the Devil a part of Chapala Christmas Display (and Human Skulls) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
