The ''' Flight into Egypt''' refers to an episode in the life of [[Jesus of Nazareth]] and his parents [[Mary of Nazareth]] and [[Joseph of Nazareth]]. The episode is narrated only in the [[Gospel of Matthew]] (Mt 2:13-23), and later Christian tradition.
==Overview==
According to the Gospel of Matthew, after the [[Adoration of the Magi]], an angel warned Joseph to take the child and his mother into Egypt, as [[Herod the Great]] was planning the [[Massacre of the Innocents]]. When Herod died, they went back to the land of Israel, but being afraid of [[Herod Archelaus]], they settled at [[Nazareth]] in Galilee.
