- Story of the Holy FamilyWhen Joseph and Mary were flying with the "Saviour"from King Herod's soldiers they passed a field where people were setting seeds. The people gave them food to eat, and immediately the seed grew up and next day the people went out to reap it, and then King Herod's soldiers came on and asked the people if they saw, a man, woman, and a child passing, they answered saying, they did the day they were setting the seed, and the soldiers thought it was a long time ago, and when the soldiers were turning back a chafer cried out indhé, indhé [?], and so the soldiers knew it was the day before that day they passed.
