Description

In our Religions series :
In the top frame, Jesus is shown helping Mary with the household and Joseph with his carpentry work.
Below left, young Tobias, a biblical character, cures his father of blindness in the presence of the angel Raphael. On the right, Jesus, now a man, assists Joseph in his agony.
The common denominator of these representations is obedience to the 4th Commandment: Honour thy father and thy mother.
