·          Christian men are called to serve and give their life to Christ, as Christ gave his life for the Church and our sins. We all have to answer to someone. Men are called to the responsibility of serving the church, their wives and family, to die to their own selfish will and be leaders, as Christ died for us. St. Joseph provides a another role model of the humble servant.

 

St. Joseph Feast in Contessa Entellina is a special tradition like the one Sicilians brought to New Orleans and other places like New York, and Boston. In Italy, the Feast of St. Joseph, is considered to be like the American, Father’s Day. St Joseph’s Day should be celebrated with passion and food. Consider increasing your understanding with a book of St. Joseph to better appreciate his celebrated day and feast.

 

(San Giuseppe) St. Joseph is honored as the foster-father of Jesus and he was the son of Jacob, in the line of the Holy remnant of believers. Joseph was a humble man in choosing to believe by faith and support Mary’s role in the birth of Christ through the Holy Spirit. Joseph is a role model of the servant father and husband. Celebrating St Joseph Day is not about idolizing food, but to give thanks and praise to God for His grace and mercy, sending Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour.
