Invoke the powers of the late St. Joseph to help sell your house fast.
It comes as a shock to no one that selling your house or property can be one of the most drawn-out and aggravating tasks to carry out. Even if your marketplace is experiencing a seller’s market, there aren’t any guarantees you’d sell. Yet, there is a promise your mind and body will ache after the countless hours you put into much-needed repairs, the staging process, and the desperation for a half-decent offer to come through. Needless to say, you’ll be left wishing for a bit of aid.
In comes the patron saint of the Catholic Church. It isn’t all too surprising that people would bring in the concept of faith into the entire house-selling ordeal. Finding a buyer that wants to pay top dollar for your property, just as it goes on sale, would surely require a bit of divine intervention. In addition, seeking help from a higher power to change one’s fate isn’t a new concept.
The History Behind the St. Joseph Burial Ritual
Like many unofficial religion-inspired rituals, there isn’t concrete proof as to how the tradition came about. The most notable original account of the ritual comes out of the 1500s.
The story goes that a nun was having a difficult time finding land for a new convent and as a consequence, began praying to St. Joseph. She eventually started to bury blessed medals of St. Joseph and urged other nuns to do the same. Soon after, the perfect parcel of land was found. This encouraged wider adoption of the practice, which ultimately morphed into the statue burial of today.
Fast forward to the 1990s, and the notion that a buried St. Joseph would guarantee a house sale really skyrocketed. People with little to no religious affiliation would carry out the ritual in hopes of getting a competitive deal on their property. To this day, people regularly purchase the statue to bury on their property. It has become so popular, in fact, that you can get an entire St. Joseph Home Selling kit from online vendors such as Amazon.
The St. Joseph Statue Burial Process
Much like the stories it originates from, there are a lot of variations in the method one buries the statue. While there are numerous arguments on the right way to do it, here are some of the most common steps people follow when carrying out the tradition:
- Bury the St. Joseph statue upside down, near the ‘For Sale’ sign
- Bury the statue with its face facing the road, or bury it towards the back of your house (This is done to indicate that you are ready to leave the property)
- It is recommended to bury the statue at least 12 inches deep
- If you live in an apartment and don’t have a yard, bury the St. Joseph statue in a flower pot and leave it at the front door
- If for whatever reason, you wish to not bury the statue of a holy figure, simply place it atop your window sill
- The most important step is to pray at the site you buried it until the house is sold
Once the magic happens, and your house is sold, remember to retrieve the statue from where you buried it. It is said that leaving the St. Joseph statue behind will curse the property to an endless cycle of reselling.
