Now you can buy an original icon of the Holy Family's Egypt voyage.
When Jesus was born, the Holy Family fled to Egypt to protect him from King Herod. Now original paintings of this secret voyage are available. Egyptian Christian nuns have painted this stirring image on hard wood, using precious gold leaf to accent the vivid colors of the Nile. The stunning image shows the Holy Family together in a boat with their donkey, using the river's swift current to escape from the pursuing soldiers. The baby Jesus is being held lovingly by Mary as Joseph looks on proudly. Golden halos encircle the heads of the Holy Family. The painting itself is 7 1/2" X 11 1/2" and comes in a beautiful velvet box. This unique and colorful work of art is the perfect Christmas gift.
