Saint Joseph, spouse of the Virgin Mary, is a central figure in the New Testament. A carpenter by trade in Nazareth, he is the foster father of Jesus Christ. A just and silent man, he embodies obedience to God, as shown by his dreams in which he receives divine instructions. As a model worker, he became the patron saint of laborers, fathers, and the universal Church. The Gospel records no words of Joseph, highlighting his discretion and deep humility. His veneration developed late but intensely, especially from the 16th century onward. He is celebrated on March 19, and also on May 1 under the title of Saint Joseph the Worker.
