Apocryphal Christmas continued

SENTENTIAE ANTIQUAE: The Magi, Herod, and A Flight to Egypt.

Continuing the series of excerpts from the Gospel of James (the Protevangelium of James).

This story sounds more familiar. It is basically an imaginative retelling of Matthew chapter 2, with a cameo appearance of two charactes from Luke chapter 1 toward the end.

Cross-file under New Testament Apocrypha Watch and (still) 'Tis the Season.
