HOT ! Escape to Egypt - Small

Escape to Egypt - Small. Immediately after Jesus\' birth in Bethlehem, the angel fo the Lord warned Joseph in a dream to take Mary and Jesus and escape from Herod\'s territory into the \"Land of Egypt\". Due to the events surrounding Jesus\' birth, we suggest that Joseph simply took Jesus from under Herod\'s rule in Judea, into the northern Sinai Desert (Egypt administration) perhaps only 40-60 miles. Others believe that Joseph and Mary took Jesus the 300 mile trip into Egypt proper.

Olive Wood artisans of Bethlehem have carved this scene since the Byzantine Period. Each statue is uniquely carved to recall this dangerous journey, to save Jesus from Herod\'s wrath. Please consider the unique designs, the sizes of each carving and the details you desire in your choice. The size you need and the price will likely determine your choice. This choice places in your church or home one of the most popular subjects for the Bethlehem carvers. Enjoy!
