The 'wise men' travelled a great distance in order to worship the newborn king. Travel has been a significant issue for each of us in this pandemic. Refugees and migrants’ struggles to find sanctuary and escape conflict are perhaps forgotten in the light of pandemic news. We long to visit our loved ones and have freedom of movement – we have all experienced to some extent the emotions and upheavals of being far from loved ones and having travel restricted. We reflect on journeying with the wise men, and our own experiences of this Covid-19 journey.
