The St. Joseph was a skilled building worker and is called a carpenter. Joseph was the fiancé of Maria, the mother of Jesus and father of Jesus. He is the patron saint of the catholic church of Mexico, Philippines, Canada, China, Bohemia, Bavaria, Peru, Russia, Vietnam and Austria, of Tyrol, Styria, Carinthia and Vorarlberg; of the married couples and families, the children, the adolescents and the orphans, of the virginity, the fighter against the communism; of the workers, the tradesmen, the carpenters, the woodcutter, the joiner, the cartwright, the burying beetle, the engineers, the educators, the pioneers, the travellers and the exiled people, the dying people; in situation of temptation, desperation and serious housing shortage; for a good death; of the diocese Cologne, the bishopric Osnabrück and patron of the bishopric minster. He is however very little remembered and not often mentioned in the Holy Scriptures, because God is the father and Jesus was fathered by the Holy Spirit in the lap of Maria.
