Escape to Egypt

This film reverently dramatizes the story of Joseph and Mary remaining in Bethlehem after the birth of Jesus; rites of presentation of baby Jesus in Temple are shown, as are Simeon's recognition of the child as the Christ, the coming of the Wise Men and Herod's attempt to outwit them, adoration of the magi and Herod's order for the slaughter of the innocents. Joseph, warned in a dream, takes Mary and the baby Jesus and escapes to Egypt.
