EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting Christmas card image transports us back to the 20th century, where the serene beauty of the Biblical narrative unfolds before our eyes. Mary, the Virgin Mother, tenderly cradles her newborn son, Jesus, as they embark on their journey into exile. In accordance with the Old Testament prophecy, they make their way to Egypt on a humble donkey, accompanied by a faithful deer and a radiant star-studded sky. The Flight into Egypt, as depicted in this print, is a poignant reminder of the vulnerability and strength of the Holy Family during their time of greatest need. The soft hues of blue, black, white, and red create an ethereal atmosphere, while the intricate details of Mary's traditional headdress and the delicate folds of the donkey's ears add a sense of authenticity to this timeless scene. The deer, a symbol of peace and tranquility, follows the family as they travel, offering protection and companionship. The gentle glow of the stars above illuminates their path, guiding them through the unknown terrain. This heartwarming Christmas card image, with its biblical roots and timeless charm, continues to inspire wonder and awe, reminding us of the enduring power of faith and the magic of the holiday season.
