St. Joseph

St. Joseph is a digital altar, composited from seven altars visited over a two-year period on St. Joseph's Feast Day. The statue of St. Joseph and the arch behind him comes from Mary's Helpers in Gretna. The orange trees, fava plants, some of the cookies and a statue of St. Lucy in the foreground were photographed at St. Joseph in Gretna. Fig bread in the form of a cane was photographed at the altar erected at Piazza d'Italia by The Greater New Orleans Italian Cultural Society (GNOICS). Some of the cookies, fruits and table coverings were photographed at Our Lady of Lourdes in Violet and at St. Jude on Rampart Street in New Orleans. The dish of strawberries and some of the other fruits and candles were shot at St. Cletus.
