"What I find most interesting is that the angel doesn’t command Joseph; instead he simply says, 'Don’t be afraid.' He essentially says: 'Don’t be afraid of the social stigma. Don’t be afraid to become a parent through adoption. Don’t be afraid to experience a love greater than you have ever known. Don’t be afraid to make the courageous choice, the one that will not only change your life, but the lives of Mary and Jesus and so many generations who will come after you.'” — from the artist statemen
