Joseph the Carpenter Coloring Page

Joseph was Mary’s husband and the man who raised Jesus. The Gospels call him a carpenter, though the Greek word can also mean a builder or craftsman, so he might have worked with stone as well as wood. He lived in the town of Nazareth.

The Gospel of Matthew says Joseph had dreams in which an angel told him what to do, including taking his family to Egypt to keep Jesus safe. He is the patron saint of workers, and his feast day is March 19.
