According to the booklet that came with the kit, the tradition began when the monjas led by Santa Teresa de Avila (a Spanish connection!) needed land for a new convent. They buried a medal of Saint Joseph. Today, statues replace the medals.
There are precise instructions on how to bury him which, of course, we didn't know when we buried the paper images. So I'm off for a shovel. Mañana I'll show you what I did.
Gracias, hermana.
Now you have to believe.
