The family have to travel five miles to Jerusalem to fulfill a religious ritual. It’s here in the temple that Joseph starts to feel a further disconnection with these weird events.

An old fellow called Simeon and an ancient woman, Anna, seem to know things about the family’s future. It’s all very worrying. Mary and Joseph decide to hand over the first of the gifts.
