A Jewish family living in North Africa, like many Jews living in the Diaspora usually could not afford to go to Jerusalem for the required festivals each year, but one year they put together the resources to travel there for the Passover to personally present their offerings to God along with the offerings of their neighbors.  The year they went was the year Jesus was arrested and crucified.  The story of what they experienced is told through the eyes of their youngest son, Rufus.
