The Holy Family, consisting of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, has been a venerated figure since the 17th century when Saint Francois de Laval began promoting devotion to them as a family unit. In fact, he was the first bishop of New France and founded the Confraternity for their honor. In the Catholic Church, the Feast of the Holy Family is celebrated to honor Jesus, his mother Mary, and his earthly father Joseph, presenting them as an ideal Christian family model. This special day serves a deeper purpose: to uphold family unity and harmony. As the patron saint of marriage and families, the image of the Holy Family has given rise to its own traditions and customs. Certain holidays dictate that only this icon be displayed in various contexts: 1. Newlyweds should present the Holy Family as a symbol for their lifelong partnership. 2. Couples celebrating their wedding anniversary must show devotion by preserving family unity through the power of the Holy Family's love and bond. 3. Parents welcome newborn children by honoring the Holy Family to protect against all misfortunes that may befall their family. These unique occasions give the image its revered status among believers, reinforcing its importance as a beacon of unity and commitment in all aspects of married life and family dynamics.
