"And he rose and took the child and his mother by night, and departed to Egypt," Matthew 2:14. The Holy Family in Blue collection depicts each member of the Holy Family's faith and surrender to the will of the Lord. To represent Saint Joseph's faith in his listening to the angel of the Lord's warning in the Gospel of Matthew, this hollyhock stalk has two flowers and fourteen buds.
Legend has it that when it came time for the Virgin Mary to be betrothed, a sign was sent from God to show which unwed man from the House of David would be the one designated by God to marry her. St. Joseph's staff bloomed! The hollyhock flower has the religious name of St. Joseph’s Staff or St. Joseph’s Flower.
