Flight to Egypt — described in the Gospel of Matthew, the flight of the family of Jesus Christ to Egypt to avoid the massacre of infants, carried out on the instructions of King Herod.

Ark (depressed style)— in iconography — a deepened middle field on the front surface of the icon board. The shape more or less repeats the shape of the board. Depth — up to 5 mm. The edges of the board that are not occupied by the ark are called fields, the transition from fields to the ark is called husk. There are no clear and generally accepted theories about the reasons for the appearance of the ark.
