Flight into Egypt (15)

This coloring page presents the Flight into Egypt framed in an ornate oval border filled with floral and vine details. Mary is walking on foot, gently holding the Infant Jesus, while St. Joseph leads a donkey beside them, carrying a shepherd’s staff. Palm trees and mountainous scenery in the background hint at their long and arduous journey.

The image reflects the Gospel narrative of the Holy Family’s escape from Bethlehem to Egypt to protect Jesus from King Herod’s decree to kill all male infants. This journey, marked by courage and trust in God’s guidance, is remembered especially during the Feast of the Holy Innocents and the Feast of the Holy Family. This artwork is an excellent resource for catechesis, helping children reflect on the themes of divine protection, obedience, and the loving care within the Holy Family.
