EDITORS COMMENTS
This glass painting, titled "The Flight into Egypt" transports us back to the 18th century and immerses us in a scene of profound significance. The artwork, created by an unknown Austrian artist from that era, beautifully captures the essence of this biblical tale. In the foreground, we see the Holy Family - Madonna, Saint Mary, Joseph - accompanied by their precious infant child Jesus Christ. They are depicted riding on a humble donkey as they embark on a perilous journey into exile. This flight is undertaken to escape King Herod's wrath and protect their beloved son from harm. The delicate brushwork and vibrant colors bring life to each figure portrayed in this glass painting. The tender expressions on Mary and Joseph's faces reveal their concern for their child's safety while also reflecting unwavering faith in God's plan. As viewers gaze upon this artwork, they can almost feel the weight of uncertainty hanging in the air. Yet amidst it all, there is an undeniable sense of hope emanating from baby Jesus himself – a symbol of divine protection during times of adversity. "The Flight into Egypt" serves as a powerful reminder that even in moments of desperation and fear, faith can guide us towards safety and salvation. This timeless masterpiece invites contemplation about our own journeys through life – reminding us that sometimes we must flee from darkness to find light again.
