Saint Joseph , husband of the Virgin Mary and foster father of Jesus, is one of Christianity's most venerated saints. Hailing from the royal line of David, he is described in the Gospels as a just man who was obedient to God. Although he did not speak in the Gospels, his faith and his silent but essential role in the life of the Holy Family are deeply respected. Joseph agreed to take Mary as his wife despite the mysterious circumstances of Jesus' conception, thus demonstrating his trust in God. He is the patron saint of workers, families, and the dead. Canonized at an early age, his feast day is March 19. His example of humility, hard work, and dedication continues to inspire Christians around the world.
