Saint Joseph's Day, also chosen the Feast of Saint Joseph or the Solemnity of Saint Joseph, is in Western Christianity the primary feast day of Saint Joseph, married man of the Virgin Mary and legal father of Jesus Christ, celebrated on xix March. Information technology has the rank of a solemnity in the Catholic Church. Information technology is a banquet or commemoration in the provinces of the Anglican Communion,^[1] and a feast or festival in the Lutheran Church building. Saint Joseph's Twenty-four hour period is the Patronal Feast day for Poland as well equally for Canada, persons named Joseph, Josephine, etc., for religious institutes, schools and parishes bearing his proper name, and for carpenters. It is also Father's Day in some Catholic countries, mainly Spain, Portugal, and Italy. It is not a holy day of obligation for Catholics in the United States.

19 March was defended to Saint Joseph in several Western calendars by the 10th century, and this custom was established in Rome by 1479. Pope Pius V extended its employ to the entire Roman Rite by his Apostolic Constitution Quo primum (14 July 1570). Originally a double of the second class and a feast of precept, information technology was re-raised to exist of precept in 1917 afterwards having this status intermittently lost, and consequently also raised to its current rank of double of the first class (now called a solemnity), having become in the concurrently the rank common to all remaining full general feasts of precept. Since 1969, Episcopal Conferences may, if they wish, transfer information technology to a date outside Lent. Even if it occurs inside Lent on the usual date of 19 March, it is still observed as a Solemnity of a Saint—this is one of the few times during Lent the Gloria may exist said or sung, the wear is inverse from the purple or violet of Lent to white or gilded (every bit it would be for such a solemnity normally), the Collect and the Eucharistic Prayer'due south Preface and other prayers are from the Solemnity and not Lent, the hymns are more blithesome, and the Creed is said. Withal, the Alleluia is still non used, the Tract being used instead, per Lenten regulations.^[2]

Betwixt 1870 and 1955, an additional feast was celebrated in honor of Saint Joseph as Spouse of the Blest Virgin Mary and Patron of the Universal Church, the latter title having been given to him past Pope Pius 9. Originally historic on the third Sunday after Easter with an octave, subsequently Divino Afflatu ^[3] of Saint Pius 10 (see Reform of the Roman Breviary by Pope Pius X), information technology was moved to the preceding Wednesday (because Wednesday was the day of the week specifically dedicated to St. Joseph, St. John the Baptist and local patrons). The feast was also retitled The Solemnity of Saint Joseph. This commemoration and its accompanying octave were abolished during the modernisation and simplification of rubrics under Pope Pius XII in 1955.

At the same time, Pope Pius XII established an additional Feast of "St. Joseph the Worker", to exist celebrated on 1 May, in guild to coincide with the commemoration of International Workers' Day (May Mean solar day) in many countries. Until this time, 1 May had been the Feast of the Apostles Saint Philip and James, but that Feast was so moved to the next free twenty-four hour period, 11 May (and once more to 3 May, in 1969, having become free in the concurrently). In the new calendar published in 1969, the Banquet of Saint Joseph The Worker, which at one fourth dimension occupied the highest possible rank in the Church building calendar, was reduced to an optional Memorial, the lowest rank for a saint'due south mean solar day.^[iv]

The Eastern Orthodox Church celebrates Saint Joseph on the Sunday after Christmas.^[5]

Pop customs among Christians of various liturgical traditions observing Saint Joseph's Day are attending Mass or the Divine Service, wearing red-coloured wear, conveying dried fava beans that have been blest, and assembling dwelling altars defended to Saint Joseph.^[half-dozen]

Christian traditions [edit]

March 19 always falls during Lent, a flavour traditionally marked past fast and forbearance. Saint Joseph'southward 24-hour interval, nonetheless, is a solemnity and per the 1983 Code of Canon Constabulary overrides Fri obligations in the Catholic Church building.^[7] Previously, per the 1917 Code of Canon Law, the obligation of fasting and abstinence was non dispensed on St. Joseph's Day even where information technology was kept equally a Holy Day of Obligation: "On [Sundays] or feasts of precept, the law of forbearance or of abstinence and fast or of fast only ceases, except during Lent, nor is the acuity anticipated; likewise it ceases on Holy [Saturday] afternoon" (1917 Code, Canon 1252 § four).^[viii]

If the feast twenty-four hours falls on a Sunday other than Palm Sunday, it is observed on the next available day, usually Mon, xx March, unless another solemnity (e.yard., a church building'due south patronal saint) falls on that day.^[7] Since 2008, if Saint Joseph's Day falls during Holy Week, it is moved to the closest possible twenty-four hour period before 19 March, usually the Saturday before Holy Week. This change was announced by the Congregation for Divine Worship in Notitiae in order to avoid occurrences of the feasts of Saint Joseph and the Annunciation both being moved to just after the Easter octave.^[9] This decision does not apply to those using the 1962 Missal co-ordinate to the provisions of Summorum Pontificum; when that missal is used, its particular rubrics, which require the feast to be transferred to the next available engagement subsequently xix March, must be observed. In practice, the 1962 rubrics lead to the observance of St. Joseph's Solar day on the Tuesday following the Second Sunday of Easter, as the Feast of the Annunciation (which must also be transferred in years when its assigned date, 25 March, falls during either Holy Week or the octave of Easter) is observed on the Mon afterward the Second Sunday of Easter.^{[ citation needed ]}

In Sicily, where Saint Joseph is regarded by many as their patron saint, and in many Italian-American communities, thanks are given to Saint Joseph (San Giuseppe in Italian). Giving food to the needy is a Saint Joseph'southward 24-hour interval custom. In some communities it is traditional to wear ruddy clothing and swallow a Neapolitan pastry known as a zeppola (created in 1840 by Don Pasquale Pinatauro in Napoli) on Saint Joseph's Day.^[ten] Maccu di San Giuseppe is a traditional Sicilian dish that consists of various ingredients and maccu that is prepared on this day.^[xi] Maccu is a foodstuff and soup that dates to aboriginal times which is prepared with fava beans as a primary ingredient.^[11]

The Saint Joseph's day altar is into 3 sections representing the three persons of the Trinity, and has a statue of Joseph at its head. The tables are dressed with nutrient, which are donated to the poor on the solemnity.^[12] Upon a typical Saint Joseph's Day altar, people place flowers, limes, candles, vino, fava beans, specially prepared cakes, breads, and cookies (likewise every bit other meatless dishes), and zeppole. Foods are traditionally served containing bread crumbs to represent saw dust since Joseph was a carpenter. Because the feast occurs during Lent, traditionally no meat was allowed on the celebration table. The altar usually has three tiers, to represent the Trinity.^[thirteen]

According to legend, Saint Joseph interceded to relieve a famine in Sicily during the Middle Ages. There was a severe drought at the fourth dimension, and the people prayed for their patron saint to bring them rain. They promised that if God answered their prayers through Joseph'due south intercession, they would set a large feast to honor him. The rain did come, and the people of Sicily prepared a large banquet for their patron saint. The fava bean was the ingather which saved the population from starvation and is a traditional part of Saint Joseph's Day altars and traditions.^[14] On the Sicilian isle of Lipari, the Saint Joseph legend is modified somewhat, and says that sailors returning from the mainland encountered a vehement tempest that threatened to sink their gunkhole. They prayed to Saint Joseph for deliverance, and when they were saved, they swore to laurels the saint each year on his feast twenty-four hour period.^{[ citation needed ]}

Some villages like Avola used to burn wood and logs in squares on the day before Saint Joseph, as thanksgiving to the Saint. In Belmonte Mezzagno this is currently still performed every year, while people ritually shout invocations to the Saint in local Sicilian linguistic communication. This is called "A Vampa di San Giuseppe" (the Saint Joseph's bonfire).
