The Bible does not give an exact age for Joseph when he died. It is not explicitly mentioned whether Mary and Jesus were with him at the time of his death. However, tradition holds that Joseph likely died before Jesus began his public ministry.
According to Christian belief, Saint Joseph passed away before Jesus. Saint Joseph is believed to have died peacefully in the presence of Jesus and the Virgin Mary.
There is no concrete evidence to suggest that Saint Joseph, the husband of Virgin Mary and the foster father of Jesus, was a martyr. He is traditionally believed to have passed away peacefully.
No, St. Joseph was not a martyr. He is known as the foster father of Jesus and the husband of the Virgin Mary in Christian tradition. He is not recorded to have been martyred for his faith.
It's not known what happened to Joseph. He is present at the Temple when Jesus astounded the scholars in Luke 2:41-52, but since Mary is described at the crucifixion and the post-ascension scene in Acts 1 by herself, it's thought he had died somewhere between. It's unlikely he would fall away after seeing and experience similar things that Mary had. Jude and James talked about in 1 Cor. 15 and Galatians 2 as being the "brothers of the Lord," are thought to be His half-brothers, by a second husband after Joseph. That would put Joseph's death somewhere between A.D. 11-29.
St. Joseph was not counted among the twelve disciples chosen by Jesus during his ministry. However, he played a significant role as the husband of Mary and the foster father of Jesus. He is considered a patron saint of the universal Church.
Nobody really knows. It is not mentioned in the Bible, but one tradition is that he died before Jesus began His ministry. The tradition is that Joseph had Jesus and Mary with him when he died. This is why Joseph is the patron saint of a happy death (who better to have with you at death than the Mother of God and God himself?!).
According to Christian tradition, Joseph, the husband of the Virgin Mary, is believed to have died before Jesus began his public ministry. The Bible does not provide specific details about Joseph's death.
According some sources, Joseph had yet died. Mary continued to worship and participate in the first kehilah (congregation) with her sons Jacob, Jude, Joseph and Shimon, as its written in Acts.
We simply don't know. We know that when Jesus was 12 years of age, both Mary and Joseph took him to the temple in Jerusalem, as recorded in the gospels. So Joseph was alive then. However, by the time he started his ministry at the age of around 30, Joseph is not mentioned at all,(except for a brief mention when the synagogue officials in Nazareth exclaim 'isn't this the carpenter's son?), nor does he appear in the accounts in which Mary appears (like the wedding at Cana and the crucifixion), so we can assume that by then Joseph is no longer around. This is not particularly helpful as he could have died any time in the 18 years or so between these times. This reflects the importance, or lack of it, that the gospel writers placed on Joseph as they regarded him as Mary's husband rather than Jesus' father - whom thy regarded, of course, as God.

The New Testament records that Joseph was not the physical father of Jesus, although he acted effectively as a step-father. We do not have any record of how or when Joseph died. It is evident from Jesus' words on the cross that Joseph had died by that time since Jesus handed over the care and welfare of His mother Mary to the beloved disciple John.

The NT makes no mention of Mary's husband Joseph beyond Matthew 2, Luke 4 and John 6, and some of those mentions are in retrospect. The common (and reasonable) assumption is that Joseph had died by the time of the crucifixion.
Relatively little is revealed about Joseph. He was identified as Mary's husband (Matthew 1:16), a just man (Matt. 1:19), obedient (Matt. 1:24; 2:13), thought to be the father of Jesus (Luke 4:22; John 1:45; 6:42), and he was a carpenter by trade (Matt. 13:55; Mark 6:3). His absence from some key events in the life of Jesus, including the crucifixion, suggests that he had died by that time.
Traditionally, in Christian belief, Joseph is believed to have died before Mary. This order of death is not explicitly mentioned in religious texts, but it is widely accepted within the Christian faith.
Mary Joseph Butler died in 1723.
Jesus entrusted the care of his mother Mary to the apostle John while he was on the cross, as described in the Gospel of John. This act symbolizes the importance of family and care for loved ones even in times of great sacrifice.
