*The story behind the statue:
****"Saint Joseph The Worker" - St Joseph, protector and provider for
the Holy Family, has long been associated with the selling of real estate.
Families throughout the world bury small statues of St. Joseph in their
lawns for assistance in selling their homes.
St Joseph the husband of Mary, mother of Jesus Christ, is honored patron
saint of married couples, families, carpenters and workingmen. March 19th, his
feast day, is especially celebrated by people of Italian ad Polish descent.
Over the years, a tradition arose of St. Joseph having a special power in real
estate transactions. European nuns buried a medal with its likeness on
property they hoped to acquire for convents. Gradually the medals were
replaced with statues and the focus changed from buying to selling.
The reasons behind using this particular saint are Joseph's strong
connecitons with famailies, homes and moving. Today, people of all religious
denominations follow the traditions of using a St. Joseph statue to help sell
their home.
The statue is buried upside down with the feet pointing toward Heaven.
It may face towards the home, or it may face away, towards the new home. The
location of the statue varies as well: near the "For Sale" sign, in the back
yard, in a corner, or in a flower pot (favored by condo owners).
After the buyer has secured financing and the deal is sealed, the statue
should be removed and given a place of honor in the sellers new home****
