St. Josephs Day in Spain
In Spain, Saint Joseph’s Day is their version of Father’s Day which is called El Dia del Padre. In some parts of Spain it is celebrated as Falles. They feel that St. Joseph is a good example of what a father figure should be like which is why they connect these two days. Since Spain does correlate this day with Father’s Day, it is tradition for children to cook their fathers breakfast or even give small gifts. It is a “meatless affair” because it occurs during the lent season. Some symbols to represent this day include, Jesus holding carpenter tools, baby Jesus or a staff with lilies. A few things to do on this day to celebrate are attending a special church service, visit different cathedrals, join Valencia’s Falla Festival, and explore the city, museums and art galleries. The Falla Festival runs for 5 days and ends on March 19th in remembrance of Saint Joseph.

St. Josephs Day in Malta
In Malta, the set date for the celebration of Saint Joseph is March 19th, but can be moved if necessary to fit into the Lent and Easter season. This has been a day of remembrance in Malta since the 10th century A.D.. Most businesses shut down for this day for all the celebrations that occur. The main celebrations are held in Mdina, which is the “old capital” of Malta in the suburbs of the city of Rabat. There are three main events that occur for this day. One of them being special masses in honor of Saint Joseph. Then it follows with colorful processions with music bands in the streets and fireworks at night. The main procession takes place in the evening with the statue of St. Joseph being carried to the church of Saint Mary of Jesus. The statue represents a high level of workmanship for the figure Joseph had in Jesus' life.

- (from wiki page edited by me): Also, this is one of the public holidays in Malta, known as Jum San Ġużepp. People celebrate mass in the morning, and in the afternoon go for a picnic. It is a liturgical feast that occurs on a Sunday in summer. However, the city of Rabat celebrates the traditional Maltese feast where in the evening a procession is also held with the statue of Saint Joseph. On this day also the city of Żejtun celebrates the day, known as Jum il-Kunsill (Zejtun Council's Day), till 2013 was known as Jum iż-Żejtun (Zejtun's Day). During this day a prominent person from Żejtun is given the Żejtun Honour (Ġieħ iż-Żejtun). In the past years the Żejtun Parish Church has celebrated these feast days with a procession with the statue of Saint Joseph. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Guthrieg (talk • contribs) 15:07, 27 April 2017 (UTC)

St. Josephs Day in Poland
In Poland, it is necessary to celebrate "Imienien" or Namesday, the feast day of one's patron saint; celebrating Saint Josephs Day is apart of this. Polish families celebrate this day with a Saint Josephs table in their house that is decorated with red and white for Poland and Saint Joseph. These tables set up in their house include holy cards and candles all around and meatless food in which they call a "festive fast" because it is Lent season. To represent and honor Saint Joseph, Poland has hymns they made. A few of the hymns are Duszo moja, O Jozefie Ukochany, and Szczesliwy, Kto Sobie Patrona. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Guthrieg (talk • contribs) 04:13, 4 May 2017 (UTC)
