When King Herod heard about this, he was afraid that he would lose his Kingdom. So, he told the wise men, “Tell me when you find this child so that I can honor him too!” They keep on following the bright star which finally stopped on Bethlehem. The wise men were overjoyed to see that they had finally reached their destination.
They entered the house and saw the little child with Mary. Knowing that Jesus was the son of god, they all knelt down in front of him. They have come with a lot of valuable gifts for their lord.

When they left from the house that night, they did not back to King Herod. They were warned in their dream not to do this. So, they traveled back to their home by another road. One night, yet again, Joseph saw an angel in his dream. The angel warned him, “Hurry to Egypt and save the child! Herod wants to kill the child and the lord needs to be saved.”
That very night, Mary and Joseph along with Jesus left for Egypt. When King Herod died, an angel came to Joseph’s dream and said, “It is now safe to go back to Bethlehem with Jesus.” Soon, they shifted back to Bethlehem and that was the place where Lord Jesus grew up.
