How long did it take Mary and Joseph to travel to Egypt?

We’re unsure of how many days the Holy Family traveled to Egypt. There were several routes, along the sea or through the desert. Any route would have been arduous. However, in Egypt they hoped to find rest and safety among the extensive Jewish community, in the land where the earlier biblical Joseph had found refuge 1900 years earlier.

Day seven of the Christmas Novena gives a reflection on the flight into Egypt.
