Nazareth

Inside the house the front door opened into the main room. To the left, against the far wall, was a large black wood-burning iron stove with an oven and all the family meals were cooked there. To the immediate right of the door was a wooden dining table and chairs, and further over to the right wall, a seating area with rugs on the floor. Behind this room, through a door on the rear wall, was the sleeping and bathroom accommodation. Lighting was by lamps on small shelves on the walls. Walls and doors and shutters were unpainted. It was a normal house of the time, comfortable and warm.

Saint Joseph had a workshop attached to the family home in Nazareth. Imagine the house as seen from the front, two shuttered windows with a door between. On the left as you approach the door is a covered area, a little wider than a driveway and with a roof. That area and another along the rear of the house, forming an L shape, was the workshop. He was not only a carpenter, he was a cabinet maker. I saw the fine designs he tooled on the cupboards he made. Saint Joseph made all the furniture in the home and the shutters. He later had a donkey cart to deliver the cabinets he made for others and to collect the wood he used. Behind the workshop was a garden space. Water jars were stored at the rear of the house. Our Lord helped carry the water from the well and groceries from market. Our Lady sewed, cooked, cleaned as mothers do.

The house in Egypt was similar in size. I only saw the outside, two windows with a door between but built of a different stone.

The family attended the local synagogue in Nazareth. Our Lady and Saint Joseph had been educated at home by their parents, as was the custom.

Our Lord said He is 6 feet tall exactly and Our Lady is 5 feet 6 inches tall. 

Dorcas

Some of Our Lord's garments were made by Tabitha [Dorcas]. I saw this lady, who has the loveliest large doe - like brown eyes. She is very beautiful. I was shown her fine stitching.  I saw too when she had died. Saint Peter was seated beside her bed, the family was weeping and he raised her from the dead.

Our Lady sewed and made clothes for the family. Dorcas made some of their clothes.
