1195 1231 Anthony Antonio Antony Depicted Jesus Padova Padua

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image depicts Saint Antony of Padua (1195-1231), the beloved Portuguese Franciscan friar and Doctor of the Church, in a profound moment of spiritual communion with Jesus Christ. Saint Antony, who is often depicted with the Child Jesus, is shown here gazing intently at the Savior, his hands folded in deep reverence and devotion. The image, created in the 18th century, captures the essence of Antony's life and legacy as a humble servant of God and an effective intercessor for those in need. Born in Lisbon, Portugal, in 1195, Antony was originally named Fernando, but he changed his name in honor of Saint Anthony of Egypt upon joining the Franciscan Order in 1220. He quickly gained a reputation for his extraordinary preaching abilities, drawing large crowds of people from all walks of life who were moved by his simple yet powerful messages of faith and love. In 1227, Saint Antony was sent to preach in Italy, where he would spend the remainder of his life. He became the first Franciscan to be canonized, just three years after his death in 1231. Today, he is revered as the patron saint of lost things, travelers, and the poor, and his feast day is celebrated on June 13th. This beautiful print, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the rich history of Saint Antony of Padua and his enduring legacy as a spiritual guide and intercessor for countless souls throughout the centuries.
