Art historian Elizabeth Lev joins the show to discuss her new
book, The Silent Knight: A History of St. Joseph as
Depicted in Art.
The book offers not only a history of sixteen centuries of art
featuring St. Joseph, but also an account of the development of
devotion to St. Joseph over the past two thousand years -from the
old man sitting overlooked in the corner of early Nativity scenes
to the glorious Patron of the Univeral Church.
