Pheodora stared at the roasted chicken and herbs. She frowned. Half the table was missing. Her oldest brother Jesus, her husband and her mother was missing. Her husband, a shepherd, was taking lambs to the Temple. That night, she and her four daughters stayed with her sister Damaris and her husband.

Damaris and Shimon lived in the elevated section of Nazareth. After the children of both families went to sleep, Damaris asked her sister about life in Bethlehem.

" How is your husband?".

" He's fine". Pheodora smiled. " He is always herding the animals to the Temple".

Damaris frowned. " Why would you marry a shepherd?".

" Chiram is a good husband". She tried to avoid talking about her husband's occupation.

The next morning, her brother Joses escorted Pheodora and the children back to Bethlehem.
