It is called "The Two Trinities."
This expresses well the very essence of Holy Matrimony. It is a marriage in the eyes of God with direct correlation to the Holy Trinity.
The first Trinity is God and the Three Persons. The second is the Holy Family. Being that Jesus is a member of both Trinities, we clearly see a junction between the society of man and God. In the establishment of the hypostatic union the two Trinities was necessary.
This concept is so sublime I cannot begin to express the beauty inherent to this painting. It is the symbolism of what a Family truly is. It is the enmeshing of the Divine reality with the human world. It is based on a love that gives rather than take.
This alone symbolizes the sublime and divine beauty of Holy Matrimony.
Hence, the patron saints are St. Joseph, the Blessed Virgin Mary, Our Lord Jesus Christ, God the Holy Ghost, and God the Father.
The Two Trinities - Pray for us.
