Orthodox believe Mary is forever virgin,but I don,t know what they believe regarding ST Joseph,s life.
Perhaps our Orthodox friends can explain more?

Thanks for the ping. I must admit I really don't know very much about St. Joseph. He is certainly revered, but he is never mentioned in the Divine Liturgy. I will defer this one.

Here's a link to a synopsis of Orthodox thinking and hymnology about +Joseph. Its a good place to start.
