The Life of Joseph (1 janv. 3 av. J.-C. – 1 janv. 30)

Description:

Birth:

Estimated Date: Between 30 BC and 20 BC.

Reasoning: This estimate is based on traditional accounts that suggest Joseph was likely a young adult when he became betrothed to Mary. Given the estimated birth date of Jesus around 4-6 BC, Joseph would have been born several decades earlier.

Death:

Estimated Date: Between 12 AD and 30 AD.

Reasoning: According to tradition and the canonical Gospels, Joseph is not mentioned during Jesus' public ministry, which began around 27-30 AD. This absence suggests that Joseph likely passed away before Jesus' ministry began.

Key Points:

No Exact Dates: Similar to Mary, there are no definitive historical records specifying the exact dates of Joseph's birth and death.

Tradition-Based Estimates: These estimates are based on historical context, early Christian writings, and scholarly interpretations.

Additional Context:

Role in the Gospels: Joseph is mentioned in the accounts of Jesus' birth and early life but not during Jesus' adult life and ministry.

Patron of a Happy Death: Joseph is often depicted in Christian art as having died in the presence of Jesus and Mary, leading to his title as the patron saint of a happy death.

These dates remain approximate due to the lack of precise historical documentation.
