Our 40" by 40" St. Joseph Spouse of Mary scarf is 100% silk charmeuse with a double sided design of jade and emerald.  Wooden details inspired by the art of marquetry combine to create intricate motifs which call to mind St. Joseph's work as a carpenter.
 
In the center of the scarf, St. Joseph places a wedding band on Our Lady's hand surrounded by a laurel wreath.  A lion of Judah medalion symbolizing St. Joseph's lineage is flanked by two fava bean plants in the corners, which sustained Scicily in the Middle Ages during a drought through his intercession.
 
Frames of lilies symbolizing St. Joesph's purity encompass 4 images of contemplation: his most chaste heart, his staff, the two turtle doves he carried to the Temple, and a sprig of myrtle symbolizing Hebrew marriage.
The Litany of Saint Joseph surrounds the border of the scarf in handwritten script.  Lemons, which grace the New Orlean's altars of Saint Joseph each year, are found in 8 points of the scarf.
 
Our 40" by 40" scarf is perfect for a shawl, hair wrap, or wall decor.
