Bright and early this morning, Joseph and Mary are again on their way. They will partake of their noontide meal at the foot of Mt Sartaba, overlooking the Jordan valley, and journey on, making for Jerusalem before noon, visiting the temple, and going on to their destination Bethlehem. It is no coincidence that Caesar issued his decree at this time. A prophecy written down some seven centuries earlier foretold that the Messiah would be born in Bethlehem (Micah 5:2). Joseph and Mary are travelling very slowly because Marys baby is due to be born soon.
