    Desert they came upon a hungry child that fell from a caravan that was crossing the desert too the Blessed Virgin went to give some of the bread and water that they had for their own use to the hungry child we are told St. Joseph rebuked her for giving the bread and water away. Around that spot where they met the child they made their camp for the night. We are told when they awoke in the morning that the grandest spring well that was never seen before in a desert, along with an orchard of every kind of eatable fruit that one could wish to eat appeared so St. Joseph could see then that he had no right to say anything to the Blessed Virgin for giving the bread and water to the child and from that day to this day there is no one that crosses the desert but puts a night over them in that spot.
