Joseph, Mary, and Jesus, with helpers and borrowed servants, flee to Egypt from Bethlehem under the threat of Herod’s soldiers looking to kill Jesus. Two bungling thieves are also close behind hoping to steal the money Joseph carries with him. Travel with the wayfarers as they sleep in caves, face wild animals, ride camels and sail the Mediterranean. Meet the families along the way that Joseph and Mary share prophecy with and tell of Jesus’ birth when they are asked why they’re so far from home. Journey nearly two hundred miles south of Memphis to the cave where they live for over six months. Find out the fate of the two crooks and experience romance among the travelers when they help a destitute family in Alexandria get back on their feet. Meet the wealthy Roman who offers them safe travel back to Israel on his Roman vessel.
