EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image of Saint Joseph, the putative or nominal father of Jesus of Nazareth, captures the essence of the carpenter saint's quiet strength and deep devotion. Saint Joseph, a historical figure credited with royal descent from King David of Israel, is depicted here in the prime of his life, with the wisdom and dignity of an experienced craftsman. His woodworking tools are scattered around him, a testament to his trade and the practical nature of his daily life. Mary, the mother of Jesus, stands beside him, her gaze fixed on her husband with a mixture of love and reverence. The peaceful scene is set against the backdrop of the Holy Land, with its rugged terrain and sun-kissed hills, reminding us of the simple yet profound history that unfolded in this region. The connection between Saint Joseph and King David is an intriguing one, and adds an extra layer of depth to the story of this humble carpenter. According to the Gospel of Matthew, Joseph was a descendant of David, making Jesus a direct heir to the throne of Israel. This royal lineage, however, did not define Joseph's character or his role in the unfolding of God's plan. Instead, he is remembered for his unwavering faith, his love for Mary and Jesus, and his quiet dedication to his family. This beautiful print, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, invites us to reflect on the life of Saint Joseph, a man of faith, a devoted husband, and a humble servant of God.
