Artist. Writer. Yaga’s proud granddaughter 😉

The Escape to Egypt. This story is familiar. Escaping from the insane Herod, Joseph takes his young wife and the Holy Child far, far away, wherever his feet will take them. In the midst of a dead and dark night, a small family shines like a handful of diamonds.
