Broadly speaking, there is an Orthodox, Catholic, and Protestant tradition, though all three have fairly ancient roots. Another ancient source is the Protevangelium of James, which can be found online. | |

He also wouldn't have been able to teach Jesus his trade very well... Is this tradition connected with the idea that Jesus's brothers and sisters were Joseph's children from a previous marriage? | |
