I Loved The Passion Of Christ

Where was St Joseph all through the Passion of Christ?

He died before Jesus was crucified. One of the questions I remember from the Catechism is "What made St. Joseph happy?" -- First is he died in the arms of Jesus. Traditionally, it is believed that Joseph was a much older man than Mary (who was about 15 when they were betrothed --which was not unusually young at that time & place).

@beckychandler: Thanks a lot for that. I think I need to revisit the Cathechism once again. Had no idea this information is in it.

@MaryN The Gospels indicate that Joseph was older. He is not mentioned after Jesus reached his early teens.
