  1. Story of the Holy Family

    Share Share Post
    Once the Holy Family were going on a journey they came to a place where tinkers were making things out of tin. The Blessed Virgin asked them to make a pin for her shawl. They refused her. She went on and she came to a blacksmiths shop. She asked him to make a pin for her shawl. He made it for her and the blacksmith is blessed and that is why the tinkers have no homes of their own.
