“The story I know relating to the Holy Family is this...”
The story I know relating to the Holy Family is this - When they were going into Egypt they happened to pass a robbers cave, so the Blessed Virgin said to St Joseph that they should go inside, St Joseph agreeing to go they went in.
When they were inside a spider came and wove his web upon the entrance, in a short time they heard the sound of the soldiers coming near them, they been afraid to go and stayed outside, and they heard one soldier say to another shall we go inside, but the other seeing the cobweb on the entrance said, It would be of no use going inside as this web seems to be unbroken, so they went on thinking that there was no now inside.
