Third Sunday of Winter
One day, while Ieshu the child was in a vineyard with Ioseph, a ghost resembling him came into the house where Miriam was, and as she thought it was Ieshu, he said to her: Where is Ieshu, my brother so that I may meet him? When he told her this, Miriam was embarrassed, and thought he was a ghost come to test her. So she took him and tied him up at the foot of the bed in the house until she found her son and Ioseph in the field. Ioseph was busy putting up the vines. When Ieshu heard these things told to Ioseph, he said: Where can I see him? Ioseph was troubled, and they went together to the house, found the ghost tied to the bed and having looked at him, they found that he looked like Ieshu. And he who was tied to the bed untied himself, kissed Ieshu, and they kissed each other and became one and the same person.
