Statues of Mary are traditional.

Tsk, tsk. And to think that Joseph get's relegated to selling homes.

St. Joseph Statue and Home Sales Kit-Saint Joseph Statue "ASK, AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE".

Interesting that he is carying a loaf of bread and a jug. A Eucharistic reference? This looks more traditional, with a flower. Caprenter tools are, of course often added as well.

Yeah, I heard that. Some people are weird!

What it is, in one of our apocryphal texts, Joseph was a carpenter, yeah, but he did a little Real Estate on the side. It was kind of, like, you know, a pyramid marketing scheme. Yeah, tht's it. And I think he got the idea from when the Holy Family was in exile.

This is all conjecture you understand.
