Joses was one of St Joseph the Betrotheds sons from his late wife, Salome, sister of St
Anna. In other words, this is an oblique reference to our Lady Theotokos who always
maintained a humble and low-key role in the background of Her Beloved Son and Gods
Mission on Earth. Joses was Her cousin and by Mosaic Law according to Her Betrothal
also one of Her stepsons. Likewise Mary, the mother of James. Salome was a sister
of Joses, and thus a cousin and stepdaughter of our Lady Theotokos.
The first day of the week is Sunday.
