St. Joseph’s Day is celebrated on March 19 every year. The day commemorates the feast of St. Joseph, the husband of the Virgin Mary and legal father of the Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
St. Joseph’s Day is a feast day of the highest rank in the provinces of the Anglican Communion and a feast in the Lutheran Church. Happy Feast!
St. Joseph’s Day is celebrated on March 19 every year.
Since the 10th century, several Western countries celebrated March 19 as the Feast of St. Joseph. The feast day became the official practice of the Church in the 1500s. Joseph is a patron of many things.
He is the patron of a happy death, families, the Universal Church, fathers, expectant mothers, travellers, craftsmen, immigrants, workers, and engineers. He is also the patron of many countries including America, Canada, Croatia, Mexico, Korea, Austria and many more.
It is one of the few jubilant solemnities during the season of Lent and is a time of great rejoicing.
This feast of St. Joseph will never supersede a Sunday of Lent. So March 19 happens to fall on a Sunday, and the feast will be moved to the following Monday, March 20.
Celebrate it like Lent- avoid meat on this day and go for meatless dishes on this day. Go to church- You can pray your hearts out and go into a divine state on this day.
