Egypt » Often a refuge to strangers
Then, as they had been divinely warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they went back to their own country by a different road. After they had gone, there appeared an angel of the Lord to Joseph in a dream, saying, "Rise, take the child and his mother and flee to Egypt; stay there till I tell you. For Herod is going to search for the child and destroy him."
