| St. Joseph with the Infant Jesus |
History
We
don’t know much about the foster-father of Jesus, other than he was a man of
great faith, and he was a carpenter. We can also tell that Joseph took his role of
husband and father seriously and would do anything to protect them, including escaping
in the middle of the night to go to another country where Jesus and Mary would
be safe. Today is the day that the Church honors Saint Joseph and everyone who
works to provide for a family.
Activity
Saint
Joseph worked very hard to provide shelter for Mary and Jesus. Because he was a
carpenter, and because it’s spring and birds are looking for safe places for
their own family, build a bird house today! If you aren’t handy around saws and
lumber, you can get a simple kit from a hardware store or craft store and put
it together quite easily.
