The veneration of the Holy Family was formally begun in the 17th century by Saint François de Laval, the first bishop of New France, who founded a Confraternity. The Feast of the Holy Family is a liturgical celebration in the Catholic Church & some Anglican Churches in honor of Jesus, his mother, & his legal father, Saint Joseph, as a family. The primary purpose of this feast is to present the Holy Family as a model for Christian families. The Feast is held on the Sunday between Christmas & New Year's Day; If both are Sundays, the feast is celebrated on December 30th. The Gospels speak little of the life of the Holy Family in the years before Jesus' public ministry. Matthew & Luke narrate the episodes from this period of Christ's life, namely his Circumcision & later Presentation, the flight to Egypt, the return to Nazareth, & the Finding in the Temple. Joseph & Mary were apparently observant Jews, as Luke narrates that they brought Jesus with them on the annual pilgrimage to Jerusalem with other Jewish families. What is Cast Alabaster?
