Journey To Bethlehem

This beautiful hand carved olive wood sculpture represents the “Journey To Bethlehem”.

Lk. 2:1-5 Mary and Joseph travel to Bethlehem in Judaea, where Joseph’s family live. The journey takes four or five days as Nazareth is 65 miles / 105 km north of Jerusalem, while Bethlehem is a hilltop town situated on a ridge near the edge of the Judaean desert, 5 miles / 8km south of Jerusalem.
