Map of Mary and Joseph's Journeys

Have the students look at a map of Israel. [Make copies for each pupil]

Circle the city where Joseph and Mary lived.
Place a square around the city where Jesus was born.
Put a triangle around the city where Herod lived.
Show them a map of where you live and figure out how far 80 miles would be from home or church.
How long might it take you to walk it, ride a bike, or drive in a car?
