    St. Joseph is the righteous man who was betrothed to the Virgin Mary. He was a saint in whom God trusted to be the protector of the Theotocos and His Son Jesus Christ.

    He had nothing to do with the Incarnation. The birth of Jesus Christ From the Virgin was the pivotal point of the redemption of mankind. We celebrate this feast as one of the seven major Lord’feasts.

    Christianity in specific is concentrated about the salvation of humanity, in which St. Joseph is not involved with it.

    We consider him as a saint and the Coptic Church celebrate the day of his departure in the Synaxarium.

    true that, but i dont think we should minimize his role in bringin up / taking care of Christ, and helping with the escape for several years in egypt. Imagine how much he went through, and also when St Mary got pregnant without being married, i'm sure it was hard to support her at that time.
    Besides, taking care of the Son of God, and His mother is something unique dont u think??
