[edit] Meatless
I think this custom prevails because the feast predates current Lenten practice. However, I'm not Catholic, so I don't know for certain. Somebody knowledgeable ought to review this whole article. 76.215.2.140 23:04, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Merge with La Festa di San Giuseppe
"Solemnity of Saint Joseph" is something hardly anyone is going to search for. My guess is that most people are going to be looking for "St. Joseph's Day" and most will be seeking info on the Italian feast day. Currently, a search on "St. Joseph's Day" sends you here, not there. 76.215.2.140 16:49, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Foster father
I don't think "foster father" is an appropriate way to refer to St. Joseph. A foster parent takes in someone else's child, not usually one born to their wife, even if they are not the father. It is a legal term that probably didn't exist in 1st century Bethlehem. You could just as easily call him stepfather, which I don't think is right either. Why not "earthly father" and husband of Jesus' mother Mary? ~ InkQuill 18:26, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Poland
Polish Christians celebrate the Feast of St. Joseph as well, as he is the patron saint of Poland. 209.37.138.50 (talk) 14:47, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
