According to the Protoevangelion [First Gospel] of James, Mary did not want to marry. Her parents had devoted her to the service of the Lord and she had vowed to remain a virgin. The High Priest and other holy men consulted God in prayer. A voice was heard saying that according to the prophet Isaiah "A rod shall come forth from the root of Jesse, and a flower shall ascend from his root..." They understood this to mean that all men of the house and family of David that were unmarried and fit for marriage should place their rods, their walking sticks, on the altar in the Temple. Whoever's rod produced a flower was the man to whom the Virgin Mary would be betrothed and married.
Even though Joseph was a much older man, it was God's plan for Joseph to be betrothed to Mary and to become Jesus' guardian. So of all the rods placed on the altar, Joseph's flowered. After they were betrothed, Joseph learned that Mary was pregnant. The Bible says that he was a just man and unwilling to shame her, so he planned to dissolve the betrothal and send her away secretly. After an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and explained all that was to happen, Joseph did what God asked of him.
