There's an unusual offer on the slopes of Bettmeralp in Switzerland this Saturday.
Anyone christened Joseph or Josephine can ski free of charge. They can also bring their spouse or any friend along for only 20 Swiss Francs per adults and children ski for 10 Swiss francs.
The reason is that this is St Joseph's day which is a public holiday in parts of Switzerland (even when it isn't on a Saturday).
St Joseph, the devoted husband of the Virgin Mary and reliable paternal figure to his step son Jesus would no doubt be delighted to know that 2,000 years after he walked the earth, people were skiing for free in a country that didn't exist when he was alive because they shared his name.
