- One day long ago, when the Holy Family were on their way to Egypt, Herod's Soldiers had almost overtaken them. They had no place for safety. They went into the trunk of a tree. Immediately the spider wove his web around the entrance of the tree. When the soldiers were passing by they said that if the Holy Family had gone in, the web would be broken, so they passed by not knowing the Holy Family had gone in. The Holy Family were safe. People do not like to kill the spider.
