A brief presentation of the history of Saint Joseph, portrayed with the Child Jesus in his arms, in oil on canvas, by the artist Gabriela Vaz Meirelles. The Gospels dedicate only a few sentences to Saint Joseph and do not offer us his words. However based on the evangelical references and data from tradition and legends, we can reconstruct the image of the virtuous and loving man who watched over Mary and Jesus and took care of them on earth.
Quotes:
“Isn’t this the carpenter’s son?”
MATTHEW 13:55
