After leaving Egypt they went up by Hebron and Kuryet El Anab, and from thence by the Jerusalem road to Ramleh and then northward to Nazareth. The scene given in the above picture, in the light of all historical statement, was witnessed by the holy family. For this is the road from Jerusalem to Ramleh that has been here in all ages.
