The Feast of Saint Joseph is celebrated on March 19 each year in honor of Saint Joseph, the husband of the Virgin Mary and the earthly father of Jesus Christ. This day is recognized in many Christian traditions, particularly within the Catholic Church, as a time to reflect on the virtues of Saint Joseph, including his role as a protector and provider for his family. In some cultures, the feast is marked by special meals and traditions. For example, in Italy, families prepare a large feast featuring zeppole, a type of pastry, to celebrate. The day is also an opportunity for people to seek the intercession of Saint Joseph for various needs, especially in matters related to family and work.
