Description
View of a small altar located inside St. Anthony Church showing beautiful large wood-carved statues depicting the Holy Family. The Holy Family consists of Child Jesus, the Virgin Mary, and Saint Joseph. According to Christian Gospel accounts and tradition, Joseph was the husband of Mary and the legal father of Jesus of Nazareth. Christian faith tradition also holds that Joseph did not physically beget Jesus, but that Mary's conception was believed to have been an act of the Holy Spirit, since Mary was a virgin at the time of the birth. Little else is known of Joseph except that he was apparently a skilled craftsman or carpenter. In contrast, Mary is one of the most highly venerated saints in the Catholic Church. St. Anthony Catholic Church was built in 1955 and is located at 1901 S. San Gabriel Blvd in the city of San Gabriel. Photo dated: December 23, 2006.
