500 YEAR OLD TRADITION CONTINUES TO ASTONISH HOME SELLERS The European practice of burying St. Joseph dates back hundreds of years. It is widely believed that an order of nuns led by Sister Therese of Avila, first called on St. Joseph, (the Patron Saint of the family and household needs), when the sisters needed land for a new convent. At first, medals of St. Joseph were buried in the earth, but eventually statues replaced medals and the ceremony of burying St. Joseph evolved from buying land to calling upon the power of St. Joseph to help in the sale of property. Today, thousands of home-sellers and real estate agents continue the successful ritual. Yes, the tradition of burying St. Joseph was originated by a Catholic Nun 500 years ago. However, like many home-sellers today, she too was in need of a miracle. When she planned to build the convent, the real estate cycle was probably in seller’s-market mode, and land was very difficult to come by. She had a full-time job with enormous responsibilities and wasn’t a real estate mogul. Her duty was saving souls, not negotiating land deals. She simply did what she was trained to do, when a situation was out of her control: GET HELP! Whether a devote Catholic, Atheist, or a member of any one of the world’s religious followings, all people need help to overcome situations out of their control. The act of asking St. Joseph for a little help to sell a home can awaken the hopefulness within.
