Well it can’t hurt to do one more thing….
Be it fact or be it fiction, burying a St. Joseph statue in the yard may help quicken the sale of your Orlando Florida home.
There are a couple of possible origin of burying a St Joseph statue:
- The solemn tradition of burying St. Joseph in the earth began hundreds of years ago in Europe. During those times, an order of nuns prayed to St. Joseph (the patron saint of the family and household needs) when they needed more lands for convents. The Sisters were encouraged to bury their St. Joseph medals in the ground. The medals evolved into statues.
- Another possible origin is with German carpenters who put St. Joseph statues in the foundations of homes.
- While it may seem a bit improper to bury St. Joseph upside-down on your property, this is actually recommended.
- You can apparently bury either a medal or a statue in the front or back yard
- right side up or upside down
- Some say the saint should face the house
- Some say he should be close to the "For Sale" sign
Wherever you place the patron saint, it appears that miracles do happen.
