Holy Family

Holy Family, as a theme in Christian art, representation of the infant Jesus with his immediate family

A Holy Family statue typically includes representations of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph. Jesus, as the central figure, is depicted as a baby or young child, often held by Mary. Mary, also known as the Blessed Virgin Mary, is usually shown in a nurturing pose, cradling Jesus or standing beside him. Joseph, the earthly father of Jesus, is often portrayed standing or kneeling near Mary and Jesus, symbolizing his role as the protector and provider for the Holy Family. Together, these three figures form the Holy Family, representing the unity and sanctity of the family unit in Christian belief.
