Advent - 2. Having got over the shock of being pregnant and accepted the role God has for her - that is to give birth to the Son of God, Mary marries Joseph.
Things are going fine until Joseph is notified that they 
must travel to Bethlehem, where he came from (about 90 miles away) to register for the census for tax purposes. Yes, they even had tax issues back then. At this point, Mary is very pregnant and I'm sure, very concerned at having to travel on the back of a donkey for so far and over the hills of Galilee.
