St. Joseph, the foster father of Jesus, is perhaps one of the most known individuals in scripture, but one we know the least about. Not a single quote from him exists in scripture, and not much mention of him exists beyond the messages he received in the form of dreams. He first appears in the Bible in the gospels of Matthew and Luke, where – in Matthew – his lineage is traced back to King David. While the circumstances of Joseph’s death are not known, it is likely that he died before Jesus’s ministry began. It’s also assumed that he was dead before the Crucifixion (John 19:26-27). Joseph was declared patron of the universal Catholic church by Pope Pius IX, and celebrates two feast days on March 19 and May 1.
In this fabric, St. Joseph stands against a wood grain background, a testament to his job as a carpenter. In one hand he holds a lily, which symbolizes integrity and as the earthly order phentermine hcl 37.5 spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary (whose purity is represented by the chaste white lily). In the other hand he holds a hammer, and in his pocket is an angle, tools of his trade.
