The Holy Family Advent Calendar tells the story of the family and childhood of Jesus in the majestic words of the King James version of the Bible, illustrated with some of the world's greatest paintings from the collections of the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C. Beginning December 1 and continuing day by day to Christmas Eve, open the twenty-four windows that surround Carpaccio's lovely painting, The Flight into Egypt. Follow the beloved story of the Holy Family beginning with Isaiah's prophecy of a Messiah and continuing with the Annunciation and Visitation, Saint John the Baptist preparing the way for Jesus, the Nativity with the adoring shepherds and mysterious three kings, the Presentation in the Temple, the escape to Egypt from Herod's massacre of children, the return to Nazareth, and finally the young Jesus found teaching his elders in the Temple. The Advent calendar is constructed as a triptych with twenty-four windows on the side panels. The cale!ndar measures 9 x 11 when closed and 18 x 11 when opened. It comes in a resealable poly bag.
