After tilling the yard, I found a St. Joseph statue in my yard. I guess it was left by the previous owners. I've lived in my house for 8-1/2 years already.
Did research and found out why St. Joseph statues are buried in yards prior to selling a house. I'm not Catholic and had never heard of this until now. I don't even believe in praying to Saints.
What am I supposed to do with this statue?

You would be amazed at the number of statues of St. Joseph buried in various backyards around the nation. Some folks are simply fervent believers in the tale. (As if St. Joseph would take a personal interest in getting a house sold.)
If you're not a believer, simply discard the statue.

In the Chicago area this is HUGE. I have heard a lot of stories where people end up finding people digging in their yard 2 years later to get the statue back. If you have the number of the people who you bought it from, call them and ask them if they want it. If not, my second choice would be to put it somewhere in my home and keep it until I went to sell the house.

I would suggest if you can find a statue of St. Joseph in your yard please return it to any catholic church in your area. Thanks :-)

You can make him landfill either in your yard or in the city dump.
