Early that Sunday, Yosef was the first to wake up. He had fashioned a crutch for himself. He wrapped his ankle in cloth bandages. Miriam and Yeshua woke up. They said their morning prayers, washed up and ate a light breakfast. The doctor advised Yosef to stay off his ankle for one more day. Yeshua helped his parents into the wagon.
The caravan briefly stopped for lunch. By mid afternoon, Yeshua was able to see the Temple in the distance. When they had come only a mile from the city, they could see the four walls of the Temple. As the caravan reached the northern gate of the city, Yeshua could see the Antonia Fortress. Yosef decided to camp at the Mount of Olives. His friend Abner was the grove master. The first half of the caravan's journey was over. They celebrated by singing Passover psalms and dancing.
