Saint Joseph Day celebrations
Submitted by ACIM Speaks on Sun, Feb 21, 2010
St. Joseph's Day is traditionally celebrated on March 19th. I've
written a blog post about the feast day, how it's celebrated, and
three ways you can create your own St. Joseph's Day tradition.
The feast day of Saint Joseph has a strange history of changing dates
according to the whims of Popes.
Originally, it was a day declared in honor of Joseph, husband of Mary,
mother of Jesus. As the story goes, it was a busy time of year when
the couple set out on the journey to escape the mass killing of babies
by King Herod. Joseph and Mary were turned away at the door of several
inns until finally one offered shelter in the stable.
