St. Joseph of Cupertino – “The Flying Friar”
Catholic Digital Art Download
$5.00
A portrait of St. Joseph of Cupertino (1603–1663) in holy ecstasy, lifted from the ground in a small chapel as golden light pours from above. Designed in our signature Renaissance-inspired watercolor style with ornate halo glow, soft candlelight, and prayerful atmosphere—perfect for home altars, study spaces, and gifts for students.
Born poor in Copertino, Italy, Joseph struggled with learning and was rejected many times—until the Conventual Franciscans received him as a humble helper. Ordained in 1628, he became renowned for deep prayer and documented levitations during Mass. A model of humility and obedience, he is patron of students, exam-takers, air travelers, and aviators.

Quote: “Where there is no obedience, there is no virtue.”
