Magi. Then was fulfilled what was said by the prophet Jeremiah who said, A
voice was heard in Ramah, weeping and wailing exceedingly, Rachel weeping
for her sons and she would not be comforted, because they could not be brought

Back to Nazareth of Galilee

When King Herod died, the angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in
Egypt. He said to him, arise, take the boy and his mother, and go to the land of
Israel, for those who were seeking the boy’s life are dead. Joseph rose up, took
the boy and his mother. They came to the border of Judea. Joseph heard that
