Usually, statues of the saints are used to decorate churches and holy places as well as serving as items to excite the faithful to piety. A statue of a saint is usually found in a building that has been dedicated to that saint or is honored by a club or institution that has asked for that saint's patronage. Catholics may even have statues in their home for their own private devotions. Often in public church buildings there is a kneeler in front of the statue as well as votive candles. The faithful may out of personal devotion come to the statue and invoke the saint who is there represented in order for special graces through the saint's intercession with God.
The specific statue of St. Joseph holding the Christ Child is fairly common and invokes the notion of St. Joseph as the foster father of Jesus Christ, an extremely intimate and unique position in the history of religion and the world. Because of this, St. Joseph is revered as an extremely powerful intercessor and his cult is widespread through the Church.
