ST.JOSEPH'S LIfe

.

Catholic AnswerAre you sure the statue you are looking at is St. Joseph, Our Blessed Lord's foster father? The symbols for St. Joseph are usually holding the Christ child, and holding a lily, sometimes a staff that has blossomed with a lily. There are other St. Joseph's, perhaps it is one of them, you would have to specify which St. Joseph to get a good answer to your question.

Having Saint Joseph's foot on a book in statues symbolizes his role as the patron saint of workers and educators. It also represents his humility and obedience to God's will, as he is often depicted as a carpenter.

Did Annabell wake up the statues in the Persy Jackson book?

First of all, her name is Annabeth not Annabell. And Persy is spelled with a 'c' rather than with an 's'. But, no, she did not 'wake up' the statues in the book. Rather, it was Thalia, who was convinced by Percy to pray to her father (Zeus) for help. And, to her surprise, he answered her (which he apparently never did before) and brought the statues to life.
