This image of the Holy Family hangs on
the entry wall in Fr. Dave Denny’s
hermitage. It reminds us that Egyptian,
or Coptic, Christians have a deep devotion
to the Holy Family, who sought shelter
in Egypt during Jesus’ infancy. Painted
in flat tempera-like colors on a small
sheet of gold-fibered papyrus, the Arabic
caption announces “the entry of Our
Lord into Egypt with his mother and Joseph
the carpenter.”
