Mother and Child (13)

Here Mary and the Child Jesus are shown kneading dough together in their humble home, with baskets and jars filling the background.
The depiction highlights the humanity of Jesus, who grew up in a family where He learned from His Mother.
The oven in the background recalls the Eucharist, foreshadowing the Bread of Life that He would one day give to the world.
This page is an ideal catechetical tool for lessons on the hidden life of Christ, as well as preparing children for First Communion.
It reinforces the sacredness of ordinary family tasks and Mary’s role in guiding her Son.
