This coloring page portrays the Flight into Egypt, a pivotal biblical event described in the Gospel of Matthew.
Mary is seated on a donkey, tenderly holding the Infant Jesus close, her eyes lowered in peaceful contemplation.
St. Joseph walks beside them, staff in hand, leading the way through a rugged, mountainous landscape under a sky of soft clouds.
The scene recalls the Holy Family’s urgent departure from Bethlehem to escape King Herod’s deadly decree to kill all male infants in the massacre of the Holy Innocents.
Their journey into Egypt symbolizes trust in God’s providence and the fulfillment of prophecy: “Out of Egypt I called my son” (Hosea 11:1).
This image is ideal for catechesis, homeschool religion lessons, and family devotions—especially around the Feast of the Holy Innocents (December 28) and the Feast of the Holy Family (celebrated the Sunday within the Octave of Christmas or on December 30).
It invites children to reflect on obedience, courage, and God’s protection in times of trial.
