Flight into Egypt – Chinese Catholic Art Print silver The dove symbolizes the divineUnlike the fierce waves in his painting, "Jesus Calms the Storm," in this picture, John Lu Hung nien has made the water completely calm and yet ominous. Joseph, Mary, and Jesus are escaping into Egypt, perhaps crossing the rivulets in the Nile Delta. The scene is extremely quiet, but it is full of uncertainty. In the misty water, we cannot even see where the water stops and the sky begins. What will happen next for the Holy Family? It is uncertain.
