THE ANGEL
The angel tells Joseph to take Mary and baby Jesus to EGYPT.
They leave straight away from their house in Nazareth.
Background Reading:
Matthew 2:13-15
The Escape to Egypt
13 When they 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."
14 So he got up, took the child and his mother during the night and left for Egypt, 15where 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."
