Light for the province: two jewels by Ramón León for San José
The image of San José, the work of the Martínez Cava brothers, is already in your home. After its blessing in the Cathedral and after being exposed in the choir of the first temple of the Diocese, the image of the man who has been named custodian and protector of the province of Almería is now in the convent of the Slaves of the Blessed Sacrament.
And he is not alone: since last week, Saint Joseph has been accompanied by two lamps that carry two candles that will always illuminate the saint, watching over the province of Almería.
The lamps, two gold and silver jewels made by Sevillian Ramón León, include details such as the coat of arms of the city, the province or the coat of arms of Pope Francis.
