About St. Anthony of Padua

Saint Anthony was born in 1195th and at the age of fifteen he entered to the Augustinian Monastery. Shortly after being ordained for priest, he went into convent of Friar Minor near Coimbra. His biggest success was preaching, often under the open sky and thousands of people would gather around him. St. Anthony’s enthusiasm for spreading the Gospel was so huge that he was declared as Doctor of the Church. He died on June 13th 1231 in Arcella in Padua. There are few saints in Catholic Church by which God has worked miracles as it did through the intercessions of St. Anthony. In the pictures he appears with the baby Jesus in his arms, as he was once seen in his prayers with the lilies that reminds to the purity which he possessed.
