This church is dedicated to Saint Joseph, the father of Jesus Christ. Like Zechariah, the father of John the Baptist, he is a man on the threshold from the Old to the New Testament. Joseph came from the House of David, one of the twelve tribes of Israel. He was a carpenter by profession and the fiancé of the Blessed Mother Mary.
Saint Joseph's memorial day in the saints' calendar is March 19th, and the church also celebrates the feast of "Joseph the Worker" on May 1st.

On the left side of the monastery, a path climbs towards the Hermitage of Saint Joseph. This was built in the 5th century and preceded the much later founding of the monastery. The original hermitage has since disappeared. The impressive buildings here today were built in the 19th century. They are used for youth camps and tent camps.
