2.5 X 3.5 inch Saint Jospeh Terror of Demons Byzantine Folk Icon style on wood

Description

This is Saint Joseph with the child Jesus. I was doing a Saint Joseph litany a little while back and was intrigued that one of his titles is Terror of Demons. I decided it’s very fitting for a man with the depth of faith to marry a consecrated virgin. Then, when she winds up pregnant with God’s baby, he doesn’t divorce her quietly but, instead, listens to an angel in a dream and marries her and begins the crazy roller coaster ride of life called “living according to God’s Will”.

I can’t imagine the faith it took to stay. I don’t think a lot of people would have stayed. But he did and that’s why he terrifies demons.

Saint Joseph’s Feast Day is March 19.
