EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print from 1478, titled "Nativity" depicts a significant moment in the biblical story of Joseph, Mary, and Jesus. The scene showcases the Holy Family during their flight into Egypt to escape King Herod's wrath. Created by Johannes Turrecremata for his book Meditationes, this woodcut beautifully captures the essence of this sacred event. In the image, we see Joseph leading a horse with Mary seated on its back while cradling baby Jesus in her arms. They are depicted as a humble family seeking refuge amidst the North African landscape. A palm tree stands tall nearby, symbolizing both shelter and hope. The artist skillfully portrays each figure with halos above their heads, signifying their divine nature. Mary's serene expression reflects her unwavering faith and devotion as she protects her precious child. Meanwhile, Joseph assumes an equestrian role as he guides his family through unfamiliar territory. This woodcut invites us to contemplate the journey undertaken by these holy individuals - a testament to their resilience and trust in God's plan. It serves as a reminder of the importance of family bonds and the lengths one may go to protect those they love. As we admire this remarkable piece of artistry from centuries past, let us reflect on its timeless message: that even in times of adversity or when faced with uncertainty, faith can guide us towards safety and salvation
