2 Hand Carved Wood Sculptures of the Holy Family, "Flight to Egypt"
Pausing for a moment on their hurried flight to Egypt, Mary comforts the Christ child as a weary Joseph leans on his staff. In an effort to wipe out all competition to his throne, Herod ordered the death of every child in Bethlehem under the age of two. To save the life of their baby, the Holy Family sought refuge in a foreign land. Jose Canil Ramos honors the Holy Family with these two pinewood sculptures, carved and painted by hand.
Joseph's hand and staff are disassembled for shipping.

"San Francisco s Patron Saint"





As a San Franciscan I wanted to add this santo to my collection of artworks from Jose Canil Ramos (Jocara). It is even more beautiful than the featured photo: Saint Francis has a beautiful soulful face.
