St Joseph was born in Bethlehem and lived until Jesus was 26 years old which would have made him around 60 years old at the time of his death. It is not known how he died except that he died in Nazareth, Israel. St Joseph was described as a Carpenter. He married Mary then he found out that she was already pregnant.He wanted to divorce her but back then if anybody found out Mary would be killed. An Angel came to Joseph and told him that Marys child was the son of God and was made by the Holy Spirit so Joseph keep Mary as his wife and became Jesus’s foster father. St Joseph was made a protector of the Catholic Church. He was described as putting everybody's needs first before his own, and always thinking of others.
Kia Ora Aliyah,
ReplyDeleteI really liked the way you explained why you chose this saint.
I learnt that St Joseph thought of others first. What a kind person he was.
Have you got a favourite picture of St Joseph that you could include in your blog post?
