Our Christmas episode of the Star of Wonder: Advent Virtual Pilgrimage of Life begins at the Milk Grotto in Bethlehem, the home where Mary and Joseph cared for baby Jesus after His birth and the site where the Magi adored Him. Learn that from here Joseph, guided by angels, led his family to safety in Egypt, fulfilling prophecy and protecting the Child.

We will stop along one of the ancient roads to Egypt at the Ain Hanya Spring where the Holy Family may have been, and reflect on the enduring spiritual lessons of faith and discernment exemplified by Joseph.

Further along the ancient road to Egypt that Mary, Jospeh and Jesus took, we will hear from the Parish priest of Holy Family Parish in Gaza, who shares how Christians have courageously lived and celebrated Christmas through these challenging years of war.

This Christmas, experience the story of Jesus’ early life through the lens of history, scripture, and living faith, and be inspired like St. Jospeh, to embrace silence, and listen for the voice of the Holy Spirit to discern God’s path in your own life.
