Description
Hand-carved from genuine olive wood that was grown in the Holy Land.
After the Three Wise Men learned that King Herod intended to kill infant boys in the area, an angel appeared to Joseph in a dream, telling him to flee to Egypt with Mary and infant son, Jesus. The Holy Family consists of the Child Jesus, the Virgin Mary and Saint Joseph. A Saint is a person who is recognised as having exceptional degree of holiness or likeness to God. Mary was a 1st century Galilean Jewish woman of Nazareth, the wife of Joseph and the Virgin mother of Jesus. Jesus Christ is the designation of Jesus of Nazareth who was an itinerant Jewish prophet from the Galilee in northern Israel. He preached the imminent intervention in human affairs by the God of the Jews, when God would establish his kingdom on earth. The proper name Jesus was Greek for the Hebrew Yeshua (“he who saves”). ‘Christ’ (Greek: Christos) was translated from the Hebrew “meshiach” (messiah).
