While the Church traditionally recognizes the parents of the Blessed Virgin Mary as Sts. Joachim and Anne, little is ever mentioned about the parents of St. Joseph, the foster father of...
Joseph was the son of Jacob and the husband of Mary, but he was not the physical father of Jesus. We do not read that Joseph was the “father of” Jesus. Instead, we read “Mary, by whom Jesus was born.”
When we think of the birth of Jesus, Mary often takes center stage, but standing quietly beside her is Joseph—a man of remarkable faith, integrity, and humility. Though Scripture doesn’t give us many details about Joseph’s life, his role as the earthly father of Jesus is undeniably profound.
Joseph (Hebrew: יוסף, romanized: Yosef; Greek: Ἰωσήφ, romanized: Ioséph) was a 1st-century Jewish man of Nazareth who, according to the canonical Gospels, was married to Mary, the mother of Jesus, and was the legal father of Jesus.
According to the New Testament, was Joseph Jesus’ biological father or just his adoptive father? The annunciation stories in Matthew and Luke claim that Jesus was conceived without a human father, but later in the Gospel of Luke, Joseph is listed as Jesus’ parent and father (Luke 2:27, 33, 48; 4:22).

There are some facts that we know about Jesus' earthly family. His parents were named Joseph and Mary. Joseph was the husband of Mary but not the biological father of Jesus. The New Testament makes this quite clear.
Joseph is called the “child’s father.” However, Luke has already told his readers who was the real Father of Jesus, God Himself. Since Joseph adopted Jesus at His birth, he could rightly be called Jesus’ earthly father. We find that Simeon had direct words for Mary, but not for Joseph.
We look today at Joseph the husband of Mary, the foster father of Jesus. The common people around Nazareth identified Jesus as “the son of Joseph” (Luke 4:22; John 1:45; and 6:42). Twice Jesus is referred to as “the carpenter’s son” (Matthew 13:55; Mark 6:3).
According to the Bible, Joseph was born circa 100 B.C.E. and later wed the Virgin Mary, Jesus's mother. He died in Israel circa 1 A.D. Everything we know about Saint Joseph, the husband of...
