Trivia night at the church was fun. I was disappointed in the food
though. Mostly chips, store bought dips, salsas etc. Lots of
Budweiser beer was served and Jell-O shots galore.

Wow. I don't even drink, and I still think I went to the wrong
churches.

LOL... I had a good time. The church was Our Sister of Guadalupe. I did
win a prize. I won a $20 gift card from Kerry Cottage. A woman at the
next table had 14 Jell-O shots in front of her. All of them were gone by
the time we hit the mid point of the trivia game which was at 9pm. The
game started at 7pm. Another woman at our table won a church cookbook. I
thumbed through it but none of the recipes stood out. One of the bonus
point questions was "Who is the Saint you bury in the yard when trying to
sell your house"? Well... that's the only one of the Saints questions I
got right 😉

Michael

So, who is it?

I remember my mom burying the medal of a saint in front of a house she
was hoping we could rent. Don't remember which saint it was though.
I do know we prayed to St. Jude a lot. ;-)

I still pray to St. Jude. ;-)

It wasn't a joke. It was/is Saint Joseph.

If you bury people in your yard...the cops will come...

There is apparently a Saint for just about

You got that right. Read "Esperanza's Box of Saints" for an
interesting review.

Nah, it's just to insure that he's paying attention.

The upside down saint is supposed to make him work harder, says
Snopes.... but I especially liked the rest of the article:

The custom of burying St. Joseph has become so widespread that some
religious goods stores even offer a Home Sale Kit, which includes a
plastic statue, a prayer card, and an introduction to the St. Joseph
home sale practice.

Prudent realtors also recommend the following advice in addition to
burying Joe: "For this practice to be fully effective, the seller
must, of course, first do such practical yet all important chores as
completing all necessary fix-up, properly staging the home and
finally, adjusting the price so as to exactly reflect market value."

Many who have experienced difficulty selling their homes have reported
seemingly miraculous sales shortly after burying a statue of St.
Joseph on their property. Stephen Binz's 2003 book, Saint Joseph, My
Real Estate Agent, is replete with many such examples. However, one
tale included in the book — which might well be apocryphal — points
that everything doesn't always go as planned. One impatient man moved
his statue from the front yard to the backyard to the side of the
house and finally threw it in the trash. A few days later the
frustrated seller opened the newspaper and saw the headline "Local
Dump Has Been Sold."

Glad you got a laugh. The superstitions run pretty deep with people
making stuff up as they go.
