Peregrinate
To peregrinate is to travel or journey, especially to walk on foot.
Luke reports that due to a census ordered by Caesar Augustus which required everyone to register in their hometown, Joseph and his pregnant fiance Mary were forced to pereginate to Bethlehem. It was there that Jesus was born. (Luke 2:1-7)
Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the city of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David...And she gave birth to her firstborn son; and she wrapped Him in cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. (Luke 2:4,7 NASB)
This painting, "Arrival at Bethlehem", was created by Macha Chmakoff.
