THE RETURN FROM EGYPT Begijnhof 19 Amsterdam
Matthew 2:13-15

So Joseph rose from sleep and taking mother and child by night,
He went away with them to Egypt and there he stayed till Herod’s death.
This was to fulfil what the Lord had declared through the prophet:

I CALLED MY SON FROM EGYPT

Because Joseph was a carpenter, he became the patron saint of carpenters.
