On the Sunday after Christmas, the Church commemorates other saints associated with the Birth of the Lord. Among them is St. Joseph, the man betrothed (engaged) to the Blessed Virgin Mary (one of his titles is “the Betrothed”). He was a carpenter from Bethlehem, who had settled down in Nazareth.

Christmas is coming! This feast of joy for the whole world, announced by the Angel of the Lord to the shepherds of Bethlehem: “I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord” (Luke 2:10-11).

Christmas is coming! The hearts of all Christians are directed towards Bethlehem, as they prepare to receive the Savior: “Christ from heaven is coming, welcome Him,” as our Church urges us with its beautiful hymns. At the same time, the Church honors and celebrates today the glorious Ancestors of the Lord, from the Righteous Abraham up to the Blessed Virgin Mary, from whom Jesus Christ was born. Those who came before lived in complete obedience to God’s will and firmly believed in His promises, such as Isaac who was to be sacrificed, Moses in the Exodus, the Prophet Daniel among the Lions, or the Three holy Youths in the furnace!
