Most depictions of Saint Joseph’s dreams show the first revelation, which is also called “The Annunciation of Joseph.”
ReplyDeleteIn the absence of any explicit cue in the artwork, we can assume that it is the first dream that is being shown. It is the default.
However, we can attribute any of Saint Joseph’s other three dreams to the artwork, absent any indication to the contrary.

Saint Joseph, Terror of Demons
ReplyDeleteSaint Joseph’s power over the spirits of darkness comes from his closeness to the Christ child.
