I don't think I have ever seen an image of Joseph holding the baby Jesus. They look like such a happy family here, and the baby looks like a real baby (not an almost toddler in a manger with his arms flailing). No one knows how Jesus referred to Joseph, but here he looks on as a proud papa.
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL WHO CELEBRATE
Oh, this is a very nice illustration!
ReplyDeleteToday is the first day of Christmas!
And I have a second post, with more traditional postcards.
A very nice scene on that stamp postcard. My postcards are here: https://envelope100.blogspot.com/2025/12/thursday-postcard-hunt-christmas_01916571431.html
ReplyDeleteHave a great Christmas!
I never thought about it, but you are right. If anyone is holding baby Jesus (up out of the hay) it's his mother.

Somehow a timeless scene, and from the days when there were bigger stamps at Christmas.
