All Hail Patient Joseph, the Step Father of Jesus

You guys have no idea how lucky you are that we made it past the entire Christmas season without my making fun of the Virgin Mary once!

Ever since this post, I’ve been incensed by the whole “Virgin” Mary concept. It’s actually caused some heated arguments between my friends and I. See, I think that if Mary was a virgin, then Joseph deserves all of the praise. I mean, this guy stuck around even though his wife refused to sleep with him. He stayed with her even after she became pregnant with another man’s child. Then, when she was 8 months pregnant, he traveled with her to his ancestral homeland to take part in a census. ((He was a very socially conscious Jew.)) And this isn’t even to mention the fact that he stuck around to raise another man’s child and train him in carpentry.

If we praise Mary for being chaste and virtuous, we should also praise Joseph for being patient. That’s all I’m saying. ((Hey, wait a minute: Why do they trace Jesus’ ancestry to King David via his father’s side if they already establish that his father is not related to him? :-S))

Quick note: if you have one of those nativity scenes, the three wise men should arrive about now. It’s the epiphany, don’t you know?
