Angel Child Hood Dreaming Herod Infant Jesus Seeks Sleeping Testament Warn Warns
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the tender moment of peace and tranquility in the humble stable, where the Holy Family of Mary, Joseph, and the infant Jesus rest after their long journey to Bethlehem. The serene scene is disrupted, however, by the sudden appearance of an angel, who hovers above the sleeping figures, casting a protective gaze over them. The angel's presence signifies a grave warning. According to the biblical account in the New Testament of the Bible, King Herod, fearful of a prophecy that a new king would be born to usurp his throne, had issued a decree to slaughter all the male children in Bethlehem and the surrounding areas. The angel, sent from God, came to warn Joseph in a dream to take Mary and Jesus and flee to Egypt to escape Herod's wrath. The historical significance of this event is profound, as it marks the beginning of Jesus's journey into exile and eventual return to his homeland. The image invites us to reflect on the themes of protection, divine intervention, and the fragility of innocence, as the young family is awakened from their slumber by the angel's urgent message. This beautiful print, from Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a poignant reminder of the enduring power of faith and the importance of staying vigilant in the face of danger. The image is a testament to the rich history and symbolism of the Christian religion and continues to inspire awe and wonder in viewers today.
