Flight into Egypt (14)

This coloring page depicts the Flight into Egypt in an elegant stained-glass style. Mary rides a donkey, holding the Infant Jesus close to her heart, her head gently inclined toward Him in a gesture of tender care. St. Joseph walks beside them, staff in hand, guiding the way with a steady step. The background is framed by an arched window-like border, with palm fronds hanging overhead and floral patterns near the edges, evoking the warmth and beauty of the Holy Land.

The scene recalls the Gospel account where the Holy Family fled to Egypt to escape King Herod’s massacre of the innocents, a desperate yet faith-filled journey remembered during the Feast of the Holy Innocents and the Feast of the Holy Family. This image serves as an excellent catechetical tool for teaching about God’s protection, trust in His will, and the courage of Mary and Joseph in safeguarding the Christ Child.
