Also in the imagery of the Christian church, statues of Joseph depict his staff topped with flowers, recalling the [[Gospel of James|Protevangelion]]'s account of how Mary's spouse was chosen. Among the collected walking sticks of widowers in Israel, Joseph was distinguished when his staff burst into flower.
Saint Joseph is commemorated on [[December 26]], along with David the King and [[James the Just|James the Brother of our Lord]].
