Explanation

In Christian tradition and the New Testament, Joseph (the husband of Mary and legal father of Jesus) was a carpenter by trade. This is referenced in the Gospels, notably in Mark 6:3 where Jesus is called 'the carpenter's son.' Wood cutter, fisherman, and tax collector were occupations of other biblical figures but not Joseph.
