The Flight into Egypt is a biblical event described in the Gospel of Matthew, in which Joseph fled with his wife, Mary, and their son, Jesus, because they learned King Herod intended to kill all infants in the area of Bethlehem.

The émigré Holy Family of Nazareth fleeing into Egypt is the archetype of every refugee family. You are invited to use this handcrafted statue of olive wood to lift up all who are refugees today, including the over 11.6 million Palestinians dispersed throughout the world. 

Remember your sacred roots to the Holy Family and how they connect us to all families and all refugees. We encourage you to work for refugee rights and specifically, the Right of Return for Palestinian refugees.

Sales of this statue support the YWCA of Palestine as part of their Peace and Justice work.
