That evening, the man and the woman, carrying the child, crept cautiously up the low hill that overlooked the whole of Ghada. There was a sunset, but not a quiet-colored one. The air was somber. There was no promise of peace in it. The clouds were jagged; the sky was a menacing red; a cold wind whipped against them. He knew she had been weeping.
She drew her shawl closer about her "We cannot stay here," she said.
From the Second Christmas back cover
From inside flap:
unlike the first star-lit Christmas, the second Christmas was an unheralded event, never recorded, in a land foreign to both Joseph and Mary. What were the happenings leading up to it? What was the situation of the Holy Family? We do not know.
But the subject itself is one that attracts the imagination, and the flights of fancy can often bring down more truth than a recital of fact. As Louis Untermeyer says in his foreword: "It was not until I had finished The Second Christmas that I suspected (or hoped) that I had created a legend that might have come true"
This touching and dramatic story of the wandering and fear and joy of the three refugees from Bethlehem does truly become a legend. This legend is of the strength of Joseph, the faith of Mary, and the blessed life of the Holy Child. And it is a lovely legend that it has the power to move our hearts and spirits as we remember the days when Jesus once walked the earth.
