Matthew, Chapter 2, verse 21-22

21 He rose, took the child and his mother, and went to the land of Israel. 22 But when he heard that Archelaus was ruling over Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go back there. And because he had been warned in a dream, he departed for the region of Galilee.

Joseph was the first Christopher (Christ bearer) in most representations of St. Joseph we see him carrying Jesus. Let us this day carry Jesus to our Galilee's. That is the common, gritty worlds in which we live.
