Reflection

  1. What was important about chapters one and two for you?
  2. What miracles took place that stood out to you?
  3. How can these miracles give you faith in God?
The birthplace of Jesus Christ, the central figure of Christianity, is believed to be in the region of Bethlehem, located in the historical land of Judea, which is now part of the West Bank. After his birth, the Holy Family, consisting of Jesus, his mother Mary, and his foster father Joseph, fled to Egypt to escape the persecution of King Herod. This journey to Egypt, as described in the Bible, is a significant event in the life of Jesus and the early Christian tradition.
