In the Holy Land of Jerusalem, this image has a special reverence and here it can be found in every church, temple and souvenir shop.
The icon "Holy Family" is the patroness of the family hearth. It reminds of what a real family should be, where there is love, mutual understanding, support and respect.
The main task of Joseph the Betrothed was to protect the Virgin Mary and Jesus from external troubles and misfortunes. And the icon shows how reverently he treats the Mother of God and the Son of God. And the aspiration of their hands to each other shows the joy of mutual existence and acceptance of the will of the Heavenly Father.
It is customary to give the icon "Holy Family" to:
🔸 Newlyweds - as a symbol of a happy marriage;
🔸 On the wedding anniversary - to preserve the integrity of the family;
🔸 On the birth of a child - so that this holy image protects the baby, gives strength and patience to parents in raising their children, and ward off all misfortunes in the family.
Pray to the Holy Family:
🔸 about the well-being of the family,
🔸 about the multiplication of love;
🔸 mutual understanding between spouses;
🔸 on the resolution of intra-family conflicts;
🔸 family preservation and protection from adultery.
It is recommended to have such an icon at home, especially in those families where there is a need to strengthen family ties, get rid of misunderstanding and return love❗️
