You can change our default text to meet your specific needs! + By virtue of his traditional occupation as a carpenter, St. Joseph is patron saint of artisans and laborers. In 1955, Venerable Pope Pius XII instituted a special feast, the feast of “St. Joseph the Worker”, to be celebrated on May 1 with a liturgy emphasizing the right to work and the dignity of labour. + Although he may actually have been the equivalent of a building contractor, St. Joseph is most often associated with woodworking. The image on the front of this card depicts the interior of a typical ancient carpenter’s workshop with lumber leaning against a wall and a workbench strewn with tools of the trade. + Image Credit (BL 01): Antique image of St. Joseph’s Workshop from a late 19th-century devotional print in chromolithography originally published by Bouasse-Lebel Imp. Edit (29, Rue St. Sulpice), Paris, France, from the designer’s private collection of religious ephemera. + Prefer a different colour scheme?
