What would Nazareth be without a church dedicated to Joseph, the carpenter who oversaw Jesus’ growing up in that Galilean town? The foster father of Jesus is commemorated in this Franciscan Church of St. Joseph in the Old City of Nazareth, close to the better known Church of the Annunciation. It was built in 1914 in Romanesque Revival style over the remains of much older churches, including the Church of the Nutrition (the house where Jesus was nurtured).
