The Bible relates that, after Joseph had been warned by an angel that King Herod was planning to kill all the firstborn children in Judea to protect himself from the threat posed by the newborn "King of the Jews", he followed the angel's instructions to flee with his family to Roman-occupied Egypt. They would return some years later on hearing of Herod's death, resettling for safety in the town of Nazareth in the north of Israel.
