[QUOTE="ViaCrucis, post: 59234922, member: 293637"] Based on the rather stark silence in the New Testament coupled with tradition, St. Joseph had died before Jesus' public ministry, though exactly when we don't know. One account from St. Epiphanius says that St. Joseph died at the ripe old age of 90 around the year AD 18. According to Tradition St. Joseph was a widower who already had children (the brothers and sisters of Jesus mentioned in Scripture) and betrothed the young Mary in order that she be provided for. Again, traditionally, the belief has been that they never engaged in sexual intercourse and that Mary remained a virgin her entire life. All-in-all we just don't know. -CryptoLutheran [/QUOTE]
