Summary/Abstract: At the Birth of the Son of God in the world, He was not offered a place in the guest house, as the Evangelist Luca tells us and as the Romanian carol teaches us. And as a drama of His birth on earth and incarnation, in order to bring us goodwill and joy, the Son of God must go into exile in Egypt. For humans, wandering is a wound that leaves deep traces in the heart and can only be healed by returning to heaven, the heaven of our birth, the heaven of childhood. Abroad, alienation and wandering can last for a while, but it must not become permanent, it must not become a project of life and abandonment of the parental and Romanian heritage.
