Why does Joseph hold a staff in most nativity scenes?

This has nothing to do with GQ questions but trying to answer why in most nativity scenes it shows Joseph holding a staff/stick. It makes him look like a shepherd but he wasn't. Not sure how to answer this. Any ideas?

Vincent Trigili Because they are wrong is the correct answer , but you could say a staff was a common means of defense while traveling.

I just submitted an answer regarding John the Baptist's motivation for sending his disciples to ask Jesus if He was the Messiah and thought I would post it for your feedback and thoughts.
Question 372043: Why did John the Bapstist asked his disciples to asked Jesus was he the one or should we wait for another? Was this doubt and why? God Bless

Help! I've gotten three questions on Dinah today because of the miniseries "The Red Tent" taken from the novel of the same name. Has anyone read/watched it? If so, would you be willing to write a review for Blogos?

Jeff Laird I presume they don't mean the one known for questionable conduct in kitchens, tolerance for bluegrass instruments, and her talent with brass instruments.

"This is not a question as it is an opportunity to say thank you. So many years ago, the Lord led me to this site as I had so many questions and doubts plaguing my mind. I asked so many questions, and you were all so faithful in filling up my inbox. Eventually, I gave up fighting the Lord, repented, and believed on my Lord, Jesus Christ. Your site was instrumental in God's drawing me to Him,and I was so incredibly undeserving. A few times, I have been able to donate a little money to your site periodically. I wish I could donate
