  1. Stories of the Holy Family

    Stories of Holy Family.
    I heard a story of the Holy Family once upon a time when Our Lord and the Blessed Virgin were going to Bethlem the Blessed Virgin went to ride a mule and when she went to get up on him he kicked her and then she went and got an ass.
    They also had a goat and that was the only animal she had to get milk from and people say that is why a goat on an ass should not be abused. There is also a cross on the ass's back
