==Overview==
 
In the Matthew narrative, it was Joseph (not Mary) who was announced the miraculous birth of Jesus. When Joseph found out that Mary was pregnant, he thought about dismissing her quietly, but an angel appeared to him in a dream to reveal him the true origin of the child.
 
When in the Proevangelium of James, the narratives of Matthew and Luke were harmonized, the annunciation to Joseph was located chronologically after the [[Annunciation to Mary]] and the [[Visitaton of Mary]]. The narrative is expanded; Joseph and Mary were publicly accused of false testimony but they overcame the ordeal.
