He longed only to touch her dress with almost the realization that Joseph must have had of Mary's eternal significance.
What is the meaning of 'significance'?
Thank you |

The meaning of significance here is importance. It is a very difficult sentence. I presume that you understand the importance of Joseph and Mary in Christianity. If you don`t, then you should definately look them up as basic knowledge of Christianity is necessary to understand this sentence.
