Luke 2:4 So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David.

Some of us like to walk for pleasure – but this sort of journey which Joseph and Mary had to endure would have been arduous!

It would probably have taken them from four to seven days depending on how much they could have travelled each day with Mary being heavily pregnant at this time.

The prophesies had indicated Jesus would be born in Bethlehem and God made sure Mary was able to make that journey before the baby was born!
