The journey
Thirty years of this life fit into two lines of the gospel. All we know of Nazareth is that nothing worth telling happened there, and that is where the force of this image comes from.
How to read it
Joseph appears frontally and with a halo, which the East does not always grant him. The parents hands close around the Child without touching each other.
When it is given
A wedding, an anniversary, a new home. This is the living room piece par excellence.
