Art historian Elizabeth Leff joins the show to talk about her new book. The Silent Knight: The History of St. Joseph in Art.
This book not only provides a history of 16 centuries of art featuring St. Joseph, but also explores the past 2000 years of devotion to St. Joseph, from an old man sitting overlooked in the corner of an early nativity scene. It also provides an explanation of the development. To the glorious patron of the universal Church.
