As they walked slowly and Mary on a donkey, that does not travel fast like a horse they covered 4-to 7 miles a day s. so it took them time a year or two.

It is next to impossible to tell. As Joseph was walking and Mary was on a donkey, it does not travel fast.

>The Bible does not say how Mary and Joseph got to Bethlehem. There is no mention of a donkey so that is purely speculation. Guesses as to how long it took them to get to Bethlehem range from 3 days (which seems kind of short) and up. I've recently read a good estimate in Adam Hamilton's book The Journeythat a reasonable number seems to have been about 10 days.

Let us be honest, it is hard to tell as Joseph walked all the way, while Mary sat on a donkey, and donkeys do not travel fast like horses do.

The journey from their home in Nazareth to Bethlehem was about 93 miles on foot, over rugged terrain, with a pregnant woman, so would undoubtedly have taken them several days.
