Following Herod's death, Joseph, Mary, and Jesus returned from their self-imposed exile in Egypt, settling in the town of Nazareth, which had been Mary's home before the flight from Israel.
Nazareth was also where Mary had received the news from an angel of the LORD that she would give birth to Jesus (Luke 1:30-31)
30 And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.
31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name Jesus.
Having grown up in Nazareth, Jesus was called "Jesus of Nazareth".
