Rückkehr aus Ägypten

Mary, Joseph, and the young Jesus travel through the hill country after leaving Egypt, with the child seated on a donkey while Joseph scans the road ahead and Mary walks beside them. The rocky path and open slopes frame the Holy Family’s journey back toward Israel after the death of Herod. This scene reflects God’s providential care over the Messiah’s childhood: the Child once hidden from danger is brought home in obedience to the angel’s command, and the family’s settlement in Nazareth fulfills the Gospel witness that He would be called a Nazarene. A fitting visual for teaching on divine guidance, family obedience, protection, and the early life of Christ.
