What is the meaning of the black "line" separating St. Joseph from the rest of the vision?
“I am Patrick Hill; I live in Claremorris; my aunt lives at Knock; I remember the 21st
August last; on that day I was drawing home turf, or peat, from the bog on an ass.
'I saw St. Joseph to the Blessed Virgin’s right hand; his head was bent, from the
shoulders, forward; he appeared to be paying his respects; I noticed his whiskers; they
appeared slightly grey;
there was a line or dark mearing between the figure of theBlessed Virgin and the spot where he stood. I saw the feet of St. Joseph, too. His hands
were joined like a person at prayer.'
Very hard question to answer McCoy,
At Knock Joseph seems to be contemplating Mary who before her Fiat was his betrothed and afterwards the Spouse of the Holy Ghost.
