  1. The Holy Family

    Share Share Post
    Here is a story about the Holy Family. One day Mary, Christ and Saint Joseph were travelling. They came to a house and went in to wash Christ. So they gave Mary the water and she washed the infant. The woman kept the water and washed her own child. He grew up to be a thief. There were two thieves one on each side of the Cross of Jesus when he was crucified, and the good thief was the one that was washed in the holy water.
