JOSEPH III by Tom Clark

"The long journey is over. Joseph, "because he was of the house and lineage of David," was required to travel with his wife Mary to Bethlehem, the city of David, to pay the individual poll tax as well as the "tributum capitis" - the property tax on their meager belongings. He still holds the walking stick that was his constant companion throughout the harrowing trip. All too soon, he will be forced to gather up his little family and flee to Egypt, to escape the jealous rage of King Herod, who decreed the death of all male children under the age of two. But for now, the worry and apprehension of the past few days fade as Joseph gazes at Mary and Jesus. He is filled with wondrous pride for this baby. A new life has begun."
