Led By a Star - and More

I have now extended this When astrologers travelled from afar they were led from the east by a star. Through King Herod they sought the infant King at his court to pay homage with gifts such as myrrh. King Herod reacting in fury having asked scribes and priests was sure he knew just where he'd be found. So the Magi profound under the star found the babe securely. Bowing before him they offered their gifts, gold frankincense and myrrh as befits Jesus the suckling King. Then homeward returning far away from King Herod's raging fits. Herod discovering that he'd been deceived ordered the slaughter of boys to proceed in Bethlehem town and the region around, leaving their parents so deeply bereaved. But Joseph with Mary to Egypt flew to keep Jesus safe until they knew king Herod was dead. Relieved of their dread they returned, making prophecies come true. Matthew 2
