This is the first feature film ever on the story of St. Joseph – carpenter, husband of Mary and the chosen father of Jesus Christ. Scripture tells us that St. Joseph was a “just man”, and that God gave him the most daunting task ever asked of a man – to be the husband of the woman who would give birth to the Messiah, and the protector of this Holy Family, the man closest to Christ. He is a man of faith who has to grapple greatly with the profound mysteries of the divine conception, virgin birth, and the Incarnation of the Son of God, and the incredible challenges of protecting and raising Jesus amidst the threats on His life from the moment of His birth. Joseph learns to trust in the words from God’s mysterious messengers as he accepts these challenges as the head of the Holy Family.
