CHRISTMAS BIBLE-ART EPISODE #12 of 33

JOSEPH AND MARY
TRAVEL TO BETHLEHEM

L U K E
CHAPTER 2

In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. (This was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.) And everyone went to his own town to register.

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. He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child.

Thank you! Merry Christmas!

[norsky]

Great pics and the map was very helpful, the path up to Jerusalem is very steep, so is the path up to Nazareth.

[manna]

Thanks.

[Hebrews 11:6]

And Merriest of Christmases to you, Diana!

[Hebrews 11:6]

Merry Christmas!

[Hebrews 11:6]

You’re very welcome. Merry Christmas!

[DoodleBob]

Thank you.

Let’s all take a moment, and reflect on how St Joseph must have felt during the trial at Bethlehem - no place to stay, baby on the way, Mary pregnant, and poverty.

And yet…. https://www.thedivinemercy.org/articles/saint-joseph-model-mercy-and-hope

“True manhood, as exemplified by St. Joseph, begins with self-mastery. In a world that often promotes indulgence and self-gratification, St. Joseph’s life was one of restraint, discipline, and obedience to God’s will. He did not speak at all in Scripture, yet his actions revealed a man whose strength lay in his ability to govern himself. By embracing self-discipline, men today can cultivate virtues that enable them to be present for their families, steadfast in their commitments, and ready to serve others with generosity and mercy.”

Merry Christmas !

[Hebrews 11:6]

God did not neglect to provide His Son with an appropriate step-father. Turns out Joseph became a travelin’ man: to Bethlehem, to Jerusalem, then to Egypt, then to Nazareth, and then repeatedly to Jerusalem. And we see Joseph’s undoubted influence in Jesus’ character throughout the four Gospels.

Thank you, Bob, for putting a spotlight on a saint who faced a unique challenge and met it so admirably in the power of the Holy Spirit.

Merry Christmas!

Dan

[Hebrews 11:6]

Thanks, Spaceman. Merry Christmas to you!

Thank you and a very Blessed Christmas to you and All.

I really like # 8, Moyers, earthy colors, light, depth. You can sense the difficulty of the journey.

[telescope115]

Wonderful words to describe St. Joseph. He is indeed a wonderful role model!

I think #5 and #7 are probably my favorites.

Merry Christmas.
