Students made triptychs in honor of #StJoseph with Mrs. Bishop in Religion today. Triptychs date back to the Middle Ages, adorning the altarpieces of churches. Relaying stories of the bible and aiding prayer, they are an important way to visualize Christianity & show devotion.


Happy St. Joseph's Day!
A child's prayer to St. Joseph: St. Joseph, watch over me & care for me just as you cared for the child Jesus; & by your help, may I come to know your Son, & so grow in strength & wisdom & the favor of God. Amen.
