Thursday, December 30 : Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 2,19-23.
When Herod died, an angel of the Lord suddenly appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt and said,
‘Get up, take the child and his mother, and go to the land of Israel, for those who were seeking the child’s life are dead.’
Then Joseph got up, took the child and his mother, and went to the land of Israel.
But when he heard that Archelaus was ruling over Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there. And after being warned in a dream, he went away to the district of Galilee.
There he made his home in a town called Nazareth, so that what had been spoken through the prophets might be fulfilled, ‘He will be called a Nazorean.’
