About this holiday
The Feast of Saint Joseph, observed on March 19th, celebrates Saint Joseph (Virgin Mary's husband and Jesus' legal father). It is a solemnity in the Catholic Church and a feast commemoration in Anglican and Lutheran traditions. Several groups, including carpenters and individuals named Joseph, recognize it as their patronal feast. Some Catholic countries (e.g., Spain, Portugal, Croatia, Italy) observe this day as Father's Day, but it is not a Catholic holy day of obligation in the United States.
