Saint Joseph is one of the most venerated figures in Catholic tradition, honored as the earthly father and guardian of Jesus Christ, the husband of the Virgin Mary, and the patron saint of fathers, workers, families, and the universal Church. He is invoked for the protection of homes and households, for those seeking employment, and for a holy death, as he is believed to have died in the presence of both Jesus and Mary. His image as a tender, protective father holding the child Jesus is among the most beloved forms in Catholic sacred art, expressing the bond of fatherly love and the responsibility of guardianship over something sacred.

This sculpture depicts Saint Joseph standing upright, his body turned slightly inward as he holds the child Jesus against his chest with his right arm. Joseph's face is bearded, with wavy hair and an expression of quiet devotion as he leans his cheek gently toward the child. The child Jesus is carved with curly hair and a joyful, animated expression, his face turned outward and upward. In his left hand the child holds a small orb, the globus cruciger, a sphere representing the world over which Christ holds dominion as its Lord and Savior. The orb is one of the oldest symbols of Christian royal and divine authority, appearing in sacred art and royal iconography across Europe for over a thousand years to signify Christ's sovereignty over all creation. In his right arm, Joseph carries a bouquet of lily stems with open blooms, the lily being the traditional symbol of his purity and his role as the chaste protector of Mary. The flowers are carved with individual petals and stems clearly defined. Both figures wear long flowing robes with deep carved folds that fall to the base, where a small cluster of carved foliage sits at Joseph's feet. The robes drape naturally with the weight and movement of fabric rendered convincingly in stone.

The sculpture is carved from white marble with a smooth, consistent finish throughout. The stone is bright and even in tone, and the carving demonstrates particular skill in the facial expressions of both figures, the individual lily petals, the child's curled hair, and the natural drape of the layered robes. White marble has been the material of choice for Catholic sacred sculpture for centuries, and at this scale it gives the figure a commanding yet intimate presence suited to outdoor sacred spaces.

At 48 inches tall, this Saint Joseph works as a garden focal point, a courtyard or entrance statue, a memorial garden centerpiece, or the anchor of an outdoor home shrine. He is equally suited to a church garden, school courtyard, or Catholic institution entrance. Indoors he fits a chapel, church foyer, or large home altar space.

"The statue chooses you.

You know when you find the right piece to bring into your home and into your heart."

Use a cotton cloth and gently buff the surface of the statue to bring out the natural polish of the stone.

White, red and black marble statues are easy to take care of as they just need some annual upkeep to keep them looking as they did when they were first carved. Here are some easy tips to keep your White, red and black marble statues from Lotus Sculpture looking like the gods they are:

Dust the statue as needed to prevent dirt build up
To make the statue shine use a cotton cloth to buff the sculpture
You can use a small amount of natural oil such as coconut oil or olive oil to further polish the sculpture
Use a tooth brush to get into the hard to reach spaces of the sculpture
DO NOT TOUCH the painted surfaces of any of the white marble statues. This will damage the painting if done often

White marble statues that are unpainted can be placed outdoors. We recommend keeping our smaller red and black marble statues as well as any painted marble statues in an indoor environment. The red and black marble statues have some delicate pieces that could chip if left outisde. The paint from the white marble statues will not last for more than 4 years if left outside so use discretion when placing your statues outdoors.
