where is st. joseph ?

Did you know that St. Joseph is viewed by some to be the patron saint of house buyers and sellers? Some sellers bury a plastic statue of St. Joseph in their yard before selling the house. Sales of the statue have increased amid a decline in the housing market, and the statue can be found in religious goods stores, gift shops, and some hardware stores. It is believed that Joseph was a carpenter, the husband of Mary and the earthly father of Jesus. The tradition of burying his statue to help sell a home is supposed to include prayers to St. Joseph. And, when you sell the home, you're supposed to dig up the statue and put it in your new home.
