In the Bible, it is the angel Gabriel who is said to have spoken to Saint Joseph. Gabriel appeared in a dream to Joseph and told him not to be afraid to take Mary as his wife, for the child she was carrying was conceived by the Holy Spirit.
If it is Mary s husband Joseph , then it was a vision.
Yes they were. They were engaged at the time Mary became pregnant. They married right after the angel told Joseph that Mary was pregnant, however they did not consumate the marriage until after Jesus was born.
Mary
Certainly. Matthew 1:18-19 refers to Joseph as her husband and to Mary as his wife.
Joseph's ancestral home was Bethlehem. However, at the time he took Mary as his wife he was living in Nazareth.
Mary was Jesus's real mother; she bore him into the world. But Joseph was in a way not the father. For God put baby Jesus in Mary's womb; Joseph was Mary's wife and the father to bringing up Jesus.
To the best of our knowledge, Mary was the first wife of Joseph. If he had been previously married, there is nothing in either scripture nor tradition to confirm this.
St. Joseph was the husband of Mary and the foster father of Jesus. He served as a loving and supportive protector of both Mary and Jesus, guiding and caring for them as they fulfilled their role in the divine plan of salvation. St. Joseph is often portrayed as a model of humility, obedience, and faith for believers to emulate.
