After three months, Mary returned home (Luke 1:56–57). By decree of Emperor Augustus, a census was conducted throughout the land. Joseph and his relatives set out for their ancestral town of Bethlehem. When they arrived in Bethlehem, there was no room for them in the inn, so they had to stay in a cave used for cattle, where Jesus was born and laid in a manger (Luke 2:1–7). Eight days later, the infant was circumcised and given the name Jesus, as the angel had named him before Mary's conception. When the days of their purification according to the Law of Moses were completed, they brought the infant to the Temple in Jerusalem in accordance with the requirements for firstborns prescribed in the Law of Moses (Luke 2:21–38). Assuming that the Gospel of Matthew supplements the narrative of Luke, rather than presenting a different version of Jesus' birth, then after these events the family returned to Bethlehem and fled to Egypt following the visit of the Magi. Mary, Joseph, and Jesus returned to Nazareth after the death of King Herod (Matt. 2:1–19).
