Show Notes

Mary and Joseph reflect on their journey following the birth of Jesus, starting from the visit of the Magi to their flight to Egypt and eventual return to Nazareth. The Magi's visit brings a mix of wonder and fear, as their gifts and prophecies confirm Jesus' extraordinary destiny. Joseph's dream warns them of King Herod's deadly intentions, prompting their immediate flight to Egypt for safety.

 

In Egypt, they find refuge and support and build a life amidst the challenges of being in a foreign land. Joseph teaches Jesus carpentry, while Mary nurtures him with stories of faith and resilience. They witness Jesus growing strong and joyful in this new environment.

 

After Herod's death, the family prepares to leave Egypt. They pack their belongings, each item a memory of their life in exile. As they set out for Nazareth, Mary contemplates the uncertainties and challenges that await them. Despite the fears and doubts, the family is strengthened by their shared experiences and faith. They step onto the road back to Nazareth, filled with hope and readiness for the new chapter that awaits them in their homeland.
