Happy Father´s Day

Georges de La Tour (1593-1652) Joseph (1642) in Louvre Museum

There are many saints called Joseph, but the greatest of all, of course, is the husband of Mary and the foster father of Jesus. 

Joseph , the son of Jacob, was chosen to be the spouse of Mary when he was 30 years old. According to tradition he died when he was 60 years old, in the year 29 A. D.

In Portugal, Father´s Day is on March 19, Saint Joseph´s Day.
