2007: The Flight to Egypt

This ornament is 15th in the popular Heart of Christmas Series. It is solid sterling silver and features the Holy Family as they fled King Herod's troops for Egypt. The Bible tells us that Joseph left Bethlehem for Egypt after he was warned in a dream that Herod was seeking to kill Jesus in order to protect his kingdom. What faith it must have taken for the young couple to set out across the desert, away from home and family, for an unknown land! Though God had provided for their journey through the gifts of the Magi, it still took an enormous trust for Joseph and Mary. As we look at the Heart of Christmas, can we honestly say that we can trust God's call in our lives -- no matter what He asks?
