Here's What Nobody Told You About Mary And Joseph

You're probably familiar with the Nativity story. But the truth about Mary and Joseph, the two parents at the heart of the story, is often brushed aside when talking about Christianity's main man, Jesus. But Mary and Joseph are interesting characters. Here's the untold truth of Mary and Joseph.

In Mary and Joseph's time, women's purity was valued as a currency, something that would sweeten the deal between marriage negotiations in family. There were no paternity tests back then, if you wanted kids that you were sure were yours, the best insurance was marrying a virgin.

So imagine your girlfriend shows up after visiting her cousin for three months with a big ol' baby bump. You can probably picture the reactions.

Everyone, not just Joseph, was freaking out. Mary would have been considered damaged goods and not marriage material. It didn't help that she was claiming this was God's baby. So Joseph planned to end their engagement. According to National Geographic, Joseph was just trying to not make the situation worse.

But don't think Joseph was insensitive for wanting to dump Mary because she was unexpectedly pregnant. Breaking up was actually the classiest move Joseph could have made at that time.
