St. Joseph, the husband of Mary and Jesus' earthly father, is the patron saint of families, carpenters, and workers. Celebrated on March 19, especially by Italians and Poles, he is believed to have special power in real estate deals. This tradition started with European nuns burying medals with his image on convent properties, later replaced by statues.
Joseph's strong connection with family and moving is shown in stories of him moving from Bethlehem to Egypt and back. Today, people of all faiths bury a St. Joseph statue to help sell their homes, placing it upside down. The statue can be buried near a "For Sale" sign, in the yard, or in a flower pot. Once the home is sold, the statue is removed and honored in the new home.
