The chaplet dedicated to St Joseph, foster father of Jesus contains 15 groups of 3 beads. (see link to prayers below). 15 represent the 15 mysteries of the rosary. Joseph was not only visited by angels but was entrusted to be the foster father of Jesus. He taught his son many things including the carpenter's trade. In second century Galilee, a Christian apologist by the name of Justin Martyr spoke of the work of the son of Joseph the carpenter. He said it was still common to see farmers using plows made by the carpenter Jesus of Nazareth. St Joseph still intercedes for us today in the deepest of care and detail - as patron of the family.

~ OLIVEWOOD ~ |
 |
|
We have used olivewood to remind us of the carpenters shop and of the wood of the cross. The medals used on this chaplet are both cast from antiques (19c). The Large one symbolizes Joseph holding the child Jesus. He stands in the Gate of Heaven (Mary, From the Litany of the Blessed Virgin Mary.) + The small center of two doves is cast from another Latin American antique piece. We use it here to symbolize the two doves given as the temple offering. (see Leviticus 12:8). |

~ BURI SEED CROSS ~ |
 |
|
Buri seeds are carved into little crosses to remind us of Christ's gift to us, along with a reminder of our own crosses we bear in life. We used these hard to find, hand carved 'basket weave' beads as Paters to reminds us of the thousands fed by Jesus |

~ AMETHYST CHAPLET ~ |
 |
|
Traditionally the chaplet of St Joseph is of purple beads, each group separated by one white bead. We have used antique purple beads )Gablonz, early 20c). Purple symbolizes his piety, and is considered a royal color and is part of the heavenly color in the spectrum. White symbolizes the purity of Joseph. |
