| Flight into Egypt |
| When they (The Maji) had gone, an angel of the Lord appeared
to Joseph in a dream. "Get up," he said, "take the child and his mother
and escape to Egypt. Stay there until I tell you, for Herod is going to
search for the child to kill him." So he got up, took the child and his
mother during the night and left for Egypt, where he stayed until the death
of Herod. And so was fulfilled what the Lord had said through the prophet:
"Out of Egypt I called my son." Matthew 2; 13-15 (RSV)
