In the town of Bethlehem he meets Joseph and Mary, just before the birth of Jesus Christ. He is mesmerised by the presence of Mary and offers all his food items to Mary. On the way back he sees the three wise men (The Magi) and give them the pomegranates. When he arrives home very late- his authoratian father demands the truth from Pontius and refuses to believe his story and whips him very badly sending him to bed.

“The moment when she crawled out onto the back of the open limousine in which her husband had been murdered was the first and last time the American people would see Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis crawl.... She was the last great private public figure in this country. In a time of gilt and glitz and perpetual revelation, she was perpetually associated with that thing so difficult to describe yet so simple to recognize, the apotheosis of dignity.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
“Friendship is never established as an understood relation.... It is a miracle which requires constant proofs. It is an exercise of the purest imagination and the rarest faith.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
