St. Joseph and the Child Jesus

St. Joseph and the Child Jesus
St. Joseph is teaching the Holy Child about carpentry in his own contemporary shop, complete with drop ceiling and a picture of a galaxy on the wall. Jesus holds a plumb line and bob, a useful tool in guiding a carpenter to true vertical measure. Symbolically Jesus is associated with the plumb bob as guiding our lives along the true line.
