How often is the Icon of the Holy Family chosen as a home decoration?

The Holy Family Icon is the most frequently chosen religious decoration for many homes. It highlights the family's faith, their attachment to each other, and at the same time, their love for God. Complementing the Holy Family icon are also images depicting Jesus as the Almighty Ruler, the Mother of God, and the Holy Trinity.

The Holy Family icon is an elegant addition that clearly accentuates the character and prestige of a given home. It allows not only for individual conversation with God at any moment when family members need it but also serves as a reminder of what is most important in life and community: love and respect.

What does the image of the Holy Family symbolize?

The Icon of the Holy Family depicts the Mother of God, Saint Joseph, and the young Jesus Christ. It is not only a model for Christian families but also a representation of the family as a church community. Moreover, it holds deep symbolism. Starting with the technique of creating the icon, special attention should be paid to what it is made of. Its sanctity is evidenced, among other things, by the wood on which the Holy Family icon is written. It refers to the cross that Jesus carried for people in his adult life and the shroud. The religious life, attachment, and devotion of this family are emphasized by the colors used: red, symbolizing love, blue, signifying heaven, and gold accentuating the presence of God in the family.

Icons of the Holy Family have become objects of religious worship. They symbolize the model of marriage and family. Mary and Joseph embrace Christ, but also each other, thus emphasizing the love and unity of the Holy Family hidden in the glory of God. Additionally, the three joined hands, belonging to each of the individuals depicted in the image, symbolize the unity of Christ God with the family.

The Holy Family Icon and its history

Religious icons originate from the 6th century from the monastery in Sinai. They refer to Byzantine art. However, those featuring the Holy Family began their history over a thousand years later. Owning this image is a testament to professing the Christian faith. Depicted on it are the Blessed Virgin Mary, Saint Joseph, and Jesus Christ. Attention should be paid to the details, such as how Christ's left hand connects with his parents while his right hand blesses. This type of blessing indicates that he is aware of being the Son of God, and the Blessed Virgin Mary and Joseph, leaning towards him, give him glory, honor, and respect.

The Icon of the Holy Family is an object of religious worship not only for Christians but also for Orthodox believers and members of the Domestic Church. The cult of the Holy Family is also associated with the practice of displaying nativity scenes.
