The Three Dreams of St. Joseph

FESCH.TV INFORMIERT:

Panel 1 in Series on „The Life of Saint Joseph“ 

Three times in the first two chapters of the Gospel of Matthew, we read words very similar to these: “Behold an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying…”

The angel then gives instructions to St. Joseph, which he humbly obeys upon arising from his sleep. These dreams are an important part of St. Joseph’s life because they inform key family and travel decisions, which profoundly affect his own life and the life of the Holy Family.  The “Sleeping St. Joseph” devotion arises from these scenes, which only appear in Matthew’s gospel.

Panel Description:
On a dark background, representing the dark of night, we see St. Joseph sleeping by himself on a small bed, wearing his tunic and using his cloak as a blanket.  An angel of light comes from heaven, speaking to him as he points to a series of three clouds, each cloud representing a different dream on three different nights. The scene in each cloud represents the key content of each dream which are described on our Website at:
