Modern day journey from Nazareth to Bethlehem.



Today I had an email from my friend Miss L. It contained the following link.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/7789479.scm (all one - no spaces).

BBC correspondent Aleem Maqbool is walking from Nazareth to Bethlehem retracing a journey made by Mary and Joseph in the New Testament story of Jesus birth. He is doing it, in 2008, on a donkey, well several donkeys actually, and keeping an online diary. There is fascinating text and video links as he goes about his travels.

It is well worth linking into this. This is what Christmas should be about not 'shopping until you drop'!

Thank you Miss L for sending me the link and I hope someone reading this Blog will pick up on it and will think about what Christmas really means.
