According to a somewhat urban legend, he can do just that!
It is said that if a person takes a small statue of St. Joseph and buries it upside-down, facing the street and near the for-sale sign,
that a much faster sales transaction will occur. Who says this? Well, thousands of homeowners and real estate agents have utilized these statues as
a marketing aid. The phenomena has been written up in The Washington Post (11/15/90), The New York Times (5/19/96),
the Salt Lake Tribune (10/11/97), the Lincoln NE Journal-Star (1/5/92), Chicago Sun-Times (10/3/97), the Cleveland OH Plain Dealer (11/28/02),
Athens GA Banner-Herald (10/5/01), the Daytona Beach FL News-Journal (11/21/02), the Easton PA Express-Times (9/2/05), the Boston Globe (12/7/03) and the Quincy MA Patriot Ledger (6/1/96),
to name just a few publications!Many folks are of the opinion that St. Joseph, who is the Catholic Church's patron saint of carpenters and other manual workers, can help facilitate real estate sales transactions. They claim that burying a St. Joseph statue has helped them sell a house. Many real estate agents keep boxes of such statues on hand to help them in their business. Since it doesn't seem to make a difference what size statue is used, small plastic statues are generally found to be less costly and ever-so-much lighter than the concrete versions often found in garden shops.
We are offering a St. Joseph Kit for $12.95 (plus shipping). It includes a 3-1/2" plastic figurine of St. Joseph, a waterproof plastic bag to use when you bury the statue in front of your house, a special prayer to read while burying the statue (over 1900 years old!), and a set of instructions. Since it is a common practice to dig up the statue after the house is sold, so that you can place St. Joseph in a place of honor in your new home, the plastic bag is supplied to keep the statue clean and dry.
