Some of my family is Catholic and they've got an ongoing argument query about
placing a statue of Joseph in your yard when trying to sell your home. SOME
say you bury him upside down, some say you bury him facing away from the home,
and some say you do both.
Anybody know?
I personally don't believe in this, and am not Catholic myself, but am willing
to help the family out with the right answer.
Thanks!
Noreen

I was raised Catholic, and I never heard of this! Could be it's a
superstition (?) unique to this family...?

Thanks, anyways, Sue.
(I was raised Catholic, the Church left me at age 13-ish, I left IT at age 18,
and I HAD heard of it. It COULD be a Polish Catholic thing, they're very big
on St. Joseph....
