Wrong thread but I lost your other one about the Magi timing, sorry.

Best estimate;

70 miles took 3 days by Donkey for Joseph and Mary.

Magi, by camel;

9 days Petra to Jerusalem

1 Day King Herod and on to Bethlehem

2 days to locate Jesus

The 12 Days of Christmas to Epiphany.

I do believe that Mary and Joseph were 'on the road' for several days - travel was impeded by Mary's advanced pregnancy and the fact that donkeys are not known to be "gallopers" - but you are oh so correct about Jehovah Jireh's perfect timing in our lives.

As a father of five, I can certainly vouch for the difficulties women have with advanced pregnancies.

Well done!!
