      • History of the Cincture

        The cincture or cord of St Joseph gained popularity in the 17th Century after the miraculous cure of an Augustinian Nun through wearing the cord and reciting prayers to St Joseph. The Church later enriched the wearing of the cord with indulgences.

        Those who piously wear the cincture may obtain the following graces:

        • Saint Joseph's special protection
        • Purity of soul
        • Grace of Chastity according to one's state in life
        • Final perseverance
        • Particular assistance at the hour of one's death
