We are told in Luke's account that Jesus was born in Bethlehem, in an outhouse of an inn that used for cattle, as he was 'laid in a manger' after he was born. Some time later (possibly two years later) visitors from the east - 'wise men', came to visit him in the house where he was now staying in Bethlehem. We are told in Matthew's Gospel account that, after the wise men came to look for him, he was in danger because Herod the king of that area wanted to put him to death as he thought he may well be a pretender to the throne. So the family escaped from Bethlehem to Egypt where they stayed until they heard that Herod had died and the danger had passed. They then returned to the area, but not to Bethlehem but to the north in the town of Nazareth in Galilee, where Joseph came from, where they settled.
