The Holy Family
Jesus's immediate relatives
The Holy Family refers to the infant Jesus, his mother Mary, and her husband Joseph, considered together as a family unit.
The term appears primarily in Christian religious contexts—in art history for depictions of the three figures, and in Catholic devotion as objects of veneration.
A Renaissance painting of the Holy Family hung above the altar.
Churches, schools, and hospitals are frequently named Holy Family.
