Joseph of Nazareth Carpenter, Saint, Father, and Protector of Virgins
In a special Christmas edition, I have the pleasure and the honour to speak to Joseph of Nazareth.
Joseph talks about being a Carpenter in a Roman province and the pluses and minuses that affords him. He also talks about the lineage and a little bit about the life of his famous son.
According to the\\xa0Matthew's Gospel, Joseph agonized over Mary's apparently illegitimate pregnancy but protected her and the unborn Jesus by accepting her as his wife after an angel appeared to him in a dream and directed him to do so. Receiving rich presents from mysterious eastern\\xa0magi\\xa0at\\xa0Bethlehem\\xa0after Jesus' birth, he then fled to\\xa0Egypt\\xa0to avoid the wrath of\\xa0Herod the Great, returning to the land of\\xa0Israel\\xa0after Herod's death and settling in\\xa0Nazareth.\\xa0In Luke's account, Joseph travels to Bethlehem for a\\xa0census\\xa0and returns to Nazareth without going to Egypt, after presenting Jesus publicly in the\\xa0Temple of Jerusalem.
Wishing you all a peaceful Christmas and new year
