St Joseph statues, The Home selling saint

Story behind the burial of the St Joseph statue tradition

It all started when an order of sisters went around looking for a piece of property to put up a convent that they much desired. After searching for days, they came across the one spot that they all agreed was the ultimate choice for their would-be home. So after enquiring about the land, they were disappointed to find that it was not for sale. So they buried a medal of Saint Joseph in the land and prayed for his intercession for days on end and soon after, their prayer was answered. This started a long tradition that has evolved into planting the statue of Saint Joseph in your yard if you intend to make a quick sale of your residential property.

So the realtors have caught this bug and are at it like it’s the only way to make a sale. Unknown to them is that Saint Joseph is a patron of patience and dedication, two traits that they badly need in their line of business. Coming from a lineage of King David, Joseph, who raised Jesus from when he was a tot to the time He began His ministry, was a gifted carpenter. He taught his son all he knew and made sure that He had a roof over His head.

How can a statue of St Joseph help me?

People will ask, why go out and buy a great piece of artwork, a statue of a venerated saint, bury it in the ground up-side-down, just to sell a house? Why not just keep the statue and pray and hope that Saint Joseph intercedes and the house gets bought? Not to worry, burying the statue doesn't beat the purpose of having it. You are after all, supposed to dig him up and put him in a prominent position in your new home, so fret not about traditional practice; it is all in the spirit of the ceremony.

Much of the protestant faith who do not consider the intercession of saints in daily life ‘Biblical’ together with other religions frown upon this act and despite its popularity, will not be deterred by the fact that the land they get to buy had a relic planted in it to make a fast sale or to complete a long drawn tradition. One thing is for sure, the act is not ending soon; as more and more realtors continue to buy, bury or encourage sellers to bury statues, especially in these days of low property sales. A little faith will go a long way in making a much desired sale, you can fint out more about this tradition on this St Joseph Statue homepage
