- Short Bio
As the divinely-ordained foster-father of the Redeemer, we know surprisingly little of St. Joseph’s life. Sts Matthew & Luke record him as a carpenter of King David’s lineage. He was inspired and guided by angels to wed Mary and escape persecution with the Christ Child into Egypt. The last mention of him is with the Finding in the Temple, during Christ’s boyhood. It is assumed that his lack of presence during Christ’s three-year ministry means he died in the loving arms of Jesus and Mary.
