After the Feast was over, his parents left to return home. They didn’t realize that Jesus was not with them. They traveled for a whole day and never knew that he wasn’t with them. They thought he was with some of their relatives or one of the other families traveling home. Then they started their relatives and friends if they had seen Jesus.
