The Holy Family
of Nazareth
The liturgical proposals are mainly imitative. The Holy Family is the classical model offered and apparently an ordinary family: a worker, a humble woman and a child. They lived in a poor house, dug in the stone of the hill, mixed with the many others - leaned one on another - that shaped the little village of Nazareth. The worker, whose name was Joseph, was a carpenter of the village. Those who saw him working night and day, or those who met him in the street, bent under the weight of a board, could never be able to guess that he had frequent conversations with Angels and that he was in charge of the biggest matter in the human history: the Saviour.
