Mary and Joseph

Today in church we were introduced to Mary & Joseph at the start of their Advent(ure) as they set out on the long journey to Bethlehem.

We pray that they will find safe passage on their journey.

A few years ago I knitted some Nativity sets. They were quite small, but I liked them a lot. My sister in Northern Ireland bought one set, another went to Scotland and one remained with me.

Imagine my surprise and delight when I found they were on a journey. 

What on earth does this do?”

Looking for transport for their journey, they come across something unusual.

  2. That is so sweet. I wonder when the donkey will appear? (or did you not knit a donkey?)

  3. We can't wait to learn more about their journey. Do you think they will travel to Bethlehem by electric car?

  4. And suddenly I realize that I haven’t seen you here for a long time. It is only when you come back that I realize that you haven’t been here.
