Joseph was a tekton – a carpenter, but more precisely a builder of houses, doors, and plows. Scripture calls him a “just man.” When he discovered Mary was pregnant, he planned to divorce her quietly to save her from stoning. But an angel spoke to him in a dream. Joseph obeyed immediately, giving up his reputation, his plans, and his homeland to protect the Christ Child. He never speaks a word in the Bible. His actions are his language. He died in the arms of Jesus and Mary – the patron of a happy death.
