In the niche above the door of the former convent of the Discalced Carmelite nuns there is a statue of St. Joseph with the baby Jesus standing. St. Joseph with his barb, mane and toga.
It seems to be made of limestone due to erosion.
"Joseph is a figure in the Gospels, the husband of Mary, the mother of Jesus and the step father of Jesus. In Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox and Anglican Christian traditions, he is regarded as Saint Joseph.
In the Bible
The Gospel of Luke says that the angel Gabriel came to Mary to tell her that she would give birth to a Son and she should call him Jesus and that he would save people from their sins.
When Joseph found out that Mary was pregnant, he decided to privately break the engagement. But then he had a dream. An angel told him that the baby was the Son of God.
At this time, the Roman Emperor, Caesar Augustus, made a law that everyone in the Roman Empire must pay tax. Everyone had to go back to the town that their family came from, to have their name put on the tax lists. Joseph came from Bethlehem, which was called "The City of David". Joseph took Mary to Bethlehem and she gave birth to the baby, Jesus, in a stable, because there was no room for them in the inn."

"Jesus, also referred to as Jesus Christ, Jesus of Nazareth, and many other names and titles, (c.?6 to 4 BC – AD 30 or 33) was a Jewish teacher and reformer of religion who is the central figure of Christianity. Christians try to follow the example of Jesus and accept his words (as written in the Bible) as the truth. In the Christian tradition he is believed to be the Jewish Messiah mentioned in the Hebrew Bible. He is one of the most famous, most recognized, and most influential persons in world history.
Most historians agree that Jesus was a real person: a Jew from Nazareth, a town in the region of Galilee in what is now Israel. They also agree that Jesus was considered a teacher and a healer, and that he was baptized by John the Baptist. He was crucified in Jerusalem on the orders of Pontius Pilate, and Christians believe that he came back to life — "rose again" — three days later."
