Saint Joseph And The Spring Equinox

Posted by

·

Viva San Giuseppe! Saint Joseph’s Day is March 19, and today, I am thrilled to gather in New York City for our annual celebration of the father, the masculine, and spring’s arrival, and to see friends and family. The feminine mother Earth is coming back to life after the famine of winter. The masculine father Sun is balancing the Earth’s energy (That’s what the upcoming spring equinox is all about!) to warm the earth and make everything grow. We need both masculine and feminine in balance for fertility, prosperity, abundance, and peace. This rendition of the holy family with Jesus (in other words, humanity) in the middle of Mary and Joseph was captured on a hand-painted Sicilian cart in Bagheria at Villa Cattolica’s cart exhibition, part of the Museo Guttuso.

We have a couple of spots left for today. Grab them at https://experiencesicily.com/saint-joesphs-day-feast/
