Sellers and their agents have been turning to St. Joseph for help in selling their homes. The Catholic saint is believed to help with home related matters. You can purchase a “real-estate kit” online for about $5, and it consists of a 3-inch statue of the saint, a prayer and burying instructions. Apparently burying the saint upside down near the for-sale sign, front or back door will help you sell your home more quickly.
Some Catholic leaders think burying St. Joseph is not terribly respectful. They also say that faith and devotion are necessary, otherwise it is simply superstition. I would also hope that the sellers’ agents are doing everything in their power to help sell the home, and not simply relying on faith.
