'''Familia takatifu''' katika [[Ukristo]] ni hasa ile iliyoundwa na [[Mtoto Yesu]], [[Bikira Maria]] na [[mtakatifu]] [[Yosefu (mume wa Maria)|Yosefu]]. 

Kwa [[imani]] ya [[Wakristo]] ni kwamba [[Mungu]] alipomtuma [[Mwana wa Mungu|Mwanae pekee]] kujifanya [[mtu]] hakutaka azaliwe nje ya [[familia]], kwa kuwa hiyo ndiyo mpango wake asili kwa ajili ya watu tangu alipoumba [[Adamu]] na [[Eva]] [[Baraka|akawabariki]] [[uzazi|wazaliane]].

[[Heshima]] kwa Familia takatifu katika [[Kanisa Katoliki]] ilianzishwa rasmi na [[Fransisko wa Laval]], [[askofu]] wa kwanza wa [[New France]] ([[Kanada]]) katika [[karne ya 17]].

== Katika Injili ==
[[Injili ya Mathayo]] na [[Injili ya Luka|ile ya Luka]] zina habari kadhaa kuhusu [[maisha]] ya [[familia]] hiyo <ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.americancatholic.org/Newsletters/CU/preview.aspx?id=233 |title=Martin, James. "The Holy Family", ''Catholic Update'' |accessdate=2017-10-22 |archivedate=2014-07-05 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140705132052/http://www.americancatholic.org/Newsletters/CU/preview.aspx?id=233 }}</ref> iliyoanza kwa kufuata taratibu za [[Wayahudi]]: [[mwanamume]] alitoa mapema [[posa]] na [[mahari]], hata hivyo hakuanza kuishi na [[mke]] wake hadi baada ya [[mwaka]] mmoja.

Ni wakati huo wa katikati kwamba, kadiri ya Injili, Maria alipata [[mimba]] kwa uwezo wa [[Roho Mtakatifu]]. Baada ya Yosefu kujulishwa, ndipo alipomchukua nyumbani asifanye naye [[tendo la ndoa]] walau hadi alipomzaa [[mtoto]] Yesu.

Baada ya [[Yesu Kristo]] [[Noeli|kuzaliwa]] [[Bethlehemu]], Injili hizo zinasimulia matukio ya [[tohara|kutahiriwa]] kwake [[siku]] [[nane]] baadaye, [[kutolewa hekaluni]] siku [[arubaini]] baadaye, [[kukimbilia Misri]], kurudi [[Nazareti]] na [[hija]] ya pamoja kwenda [[Yerusalemu]]<ref name=strasser>{{Cite web |url=http://www.passionistnuns.org/Saints/HolyFamily/index.htm |title=Strasser O.S,B., Bernard. ''With Christ Through the Year'' |accessdate=2017-10-22 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304035608/http://www.passionistnuns.org/Saints/HolyFamily/index.htm |archivedate=2016-03-04 |=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304035608/http://www.passionistnuns.org/Saints/HolyFamily/index.htm }}</ref>. Katika hayo yote Yosefu, Maria na [[Yesu]] wako pamoja. 

Baada ya tukio hilo la mwisho, ambapo [[mtoto]] alikuwa na [[umri]] wa miaka 12, Yosefu hatokei tena katika Injili, hivi kwamba wengi wanafikiri alifariki kabla Yesu hajaanza [[Utume wa Yesu|utume wake]].

== Katika [[liturujia]] ==
[[Sikukuu]] ya Familia takatifu inaadhimishwa na [[Kanisa la Kilatini]] mwishoni mwa kila [[mwaka]], kati ya [[Noeli]] ([[25 Desemba]]) na [[sherehe]] ya [[Mama wa Mungu]] ([[1 Januari]]). Lengo ni kufanya familia hiyo iwe kielelezo cha nyingine zote ziishi kitakatifu<ref name=strasser />. 

Ilipoanzishwa na [[Papa Leo XIII]] mwaka [[1893]] ilipangwa baada ya [[Epifania]] ([[6 Januari]]), lakini baadaye ilihamishwa.
