Wonderful. I’ve also read that solitary line about how the Christ child grew, and have wondered about all that we don’t know. (On that same point, I’ve sung the hymn “Once in Royal David’s City” many times, with its language about how Jesus is “our childhood’s pattern” and that “day by day, like us, He grew; He was little, weak, and helpless, tears and smiles, like us He knew” and have wondered how in the world the hymn-writer knew all that!) Anyhow, here, the poet’s delightful use of that one-word title — “Immigrants” — to describe the Holy Family is fascinating. Thanks for sharing this.
