The icon of St Joseph and Child is in the Russian Tradition. Joseph holds Jesus in a manner reminiscent of the Icon of the Mother of God of Tenderness. In fact tenderness is the theme of this icon. Tenderness as espoused by Pope Francis – a masculine – gentle – tenderness that is at once protective, delighted, engaged and overflowing with love. This is my image of St Joseph and what inspired this icon.
