Happy Solemnity of St. Joseph
I put together a couple of memes for the occasion:
Everybody knows that Mary received a single angelic greeting from Gabriel, but a lot of times people forget about the messages given to Joseph. How many times did Joseph receive a message from an angel? No cheating now…
he was visited by Gabriel three times, wasn’t he?
A common answer (a friend texted me that as well), but incorrect…
Please see Matthew 1:20, 2:13,19,22. Mary 1 : Joseph 4
Twice ?
The Bible references are Matthew 1:20, 2:13,19,22…
3
(I figure 3, 7, 12 are our biblical numbers and 7 or 12 seems too high)
Nice guess, but it’s four (referenced in Matthew 1:20, 2:13,19,22)
