A Treasure Trove of Catholic Notions You Might Not Know

Don’t Bury St. Joseph

Don’t Bury St. Joseph

Some people bury a statue of St. Joseph upside down in their yards in order to expedite the sale of their homes. There are different instruction sets related to this superstition but the idea is St. Joseph doesn’t want to be in that position. He will help sell your home quickly so you’ll go and retrieve him.  You can even purchase home selling kits that include a small statue and instructions. This idea is superstitious folklore and certainly not Catholic.  Leave St. Joseph where you can see him and pray to him daily to ask for his prayers and intervention.
