Though he died in Padua,Italy, he was born and raised in a wealthy family in Lisbon. Noted by his contemporaries for his forceful preachingand expert knowledge of scripture, he was the second-fastest canonized saint (after St. Peter of Verona) andproclaimed a Doctor of the Church on 16 January 1946.

Early yearsFernando Martins was born in Lisbon, Portugal. While fifteenth century writers state that his parents were VicenteMartins and Teresa Pais Taveira, and that his father was the brother of Pedro Martins de Bulhões, the ancestor of theBulhão or Bulhões family, Niccolò Dal-Gal (other languages) views this as less certain. His rich and noble familyarranged for him to be instructed at the local cathedral school. At the age of fifteen, he entered the community ofCanons Regular at the Augustinian Abbey of Saint Vincent on the outskirts of Lisbon. In 1212, distracted byfrequent visits from family and friends, he asked to be transferred to the motherhouse of the congregation, the Abbeyof Santa Cruz in Coimbra, then the capital of Portugal.[2] There the young Fernando studied theology and Latin.

Joining the FranciscansAfter his ordination to the priesthood, Fernando was named guestmaster and placed in charge of hospitality for theabbey. While he was in Coimbra, some Franciscan friars arrived and settled at a small hermitage outside Coimbradedicated to Saint Anthony of Egypt. Fernando was strongly attracted to the simple, evangelical lifestyle of thefriars, whose order had been founded only eleven years prior. News arrived that five Franciscans had been beheadedin Morocco, the first of their order to be killed. King Alfonso ransomed their bodies to be returned and buried asmartyrs in the Abbey of Santa Cruz. Inspired by their example, Fernando obtained permission from churchauthorities to leave the Canons Regular to join the new Franciscan Order. Upon his admission to the life of the friars,he joined the small hermitage in Olivais, adopting the name Anthony (from the name of the chapel located there,dedicated to Saint Anthony the Great), by which he was to be known.[3]

Anthony then set out for Morocco, in fulfillment of his new vocation. However, he fell seriously ill in Morocco andset sail back for Portugal in hope of regaining his health. On the return voyage the ship was blown off course andlanded in Sicily.[4]

From Sicily he made his way to Tuscany where he was assigned to a convent of the order, but he met with difficultyon account of his sickly appearance. He was finally assigned to the rural hermitage of San Paolo near Forlì,Romagna, a choice made after considering his poor health. There he had recourse to a cell one of the friars had madein a nearby cave, spending time in private prayer and study.

Preaching and teaching

One day, in 1222, in the town of Forli, on the occasion of an ordination, anumber of visiting Dominican friars were present, and there was somemisunderstanding over who should preach. The Franciscans naturally expectedthat one of the Dominicans would occupy the pulpit, for they were renowned fortheir preaching; the Dominicans, on the other hand, had come unprepared,thinking that a Franciscan would be the homilist. In this quandary, the head ofthe hermitage, who had no one among his own humble friars suitable for theoccasion, called upon Anthony, whom he suspected was most qualified, andentreated him to speak whatever the Holy Spirit should put into his mouth.Anthony objected but was overruled, and his sermon created a deep impression.Not only his rich voice and arresting manner, but the entire theme and substanceof his discourse and his moving eloquence, held the attention of his hearers.Everyone was impressed with his knowledge of Scripture, acquired during hisyears as an Augustinian friar.

At that point, Anthony was sent by Brother Gratian, the local Minister Provincial, to the Franciscan province ofRomagna, based in Bologna. He soon came to the attention of the founder of the order, Francis of Assisi. Francis hadheld a strong distrust of the place of theological studies in the life of his brotherhood, fearing that it might lead to anabandonment of their commitment to a life of real poverty. In Anthony, however, he found a kindred spirit for hisvision, who was also able to provide the teaching needed by young members of the order who might seek ordination.In 1224 he entrusted the pursuit of studies for any of his friars to the care of Anthony.

The reason St. Anthony's help is invoked for finding things lost or stolen istraced to an incident that occurred in Bologna. According to the story, Anthonyhad a book of psalms that was of some importance to him as it contained thenotes and comments he had made to use in teaching his students. A novice whohad decided to leave took the psalter with him. Prior to the invention of theprinting press, any book was an item of value. Upon noticing it was missing,Anthony prayed it would be found or returned. The thief was moved to restorethe book to Anthony and return to the Order. The stolen book is said to bepreserved in the Franciscan friary in Bologna.[5]

Occasionally he took another post, as a teacher, for instance, at the universitiesof Montpellier and Toulouse in southern France, but it was as a preacher thatAnthony revealed his supreme gift. According to historian Sophronius Clasen,Anthony preached the grandeur of Christianity. His method included allegoryand symbolical explanation of Scripture. In 1226, after attending the GeneralChapter of his order held at Arles, France, and preaching in the French regionof Provence, Anthony returned to Italy and was appointed provincial superiorof northern Italy. He chose the city of Padua as his location.

In 1228 he served as envoy from the general chapter to Pope Gregory IX. Atthe Papal court, his preaching was hailed as a "jewel case of the Bible" and hewas commissioned to produce his collection of sermons, Sermons for FeastDays (Sermones in Festivitates). Gregory IX himself described him as the "Arkof the Testament" (Doctor Arca testamenti).

DeathAnthony became ill with Ergotism and, in 1231, went to the woodland retreat at Camposampiero with two otherfriars for a respite. There he lived in a cell built for him under the branches of a walnut tree. Anthony died on theway back to Padua on 13 June 1231 at the Poor Clare monastery at Arcella (now part of Padua), aged 35.According to the request of Anthony, was buried in the small church of Santa Maria Mater Domini, probably datingfrom the late 12th century and near a convent which had been founded by him in 1229. Nevertheless, due to hisincreased notability, construction of a large Basilica began around 1232 - although it was not completed until 1301.The smaller church was incorporated into structure as the Cappella della Madonna Mora (Chapel of the DarkMadonna). The basilica is commonly known today as "Il Santo".Various legends surround the death of Anthony. One holds that when he died, the children cried in the streets andthat all the bells of the churches rang of their own accord. Another legend regards his tongue. Anthony is buried in achapel within the large basilica built to honor him, where his tongue is displayed for veneration in a large reliquary.When his body was exhumed thirty years after his death, it was found turned to dust, but the tongue was claimed tohave glistened and looked as if it was still alive and moist; apparently a further claim was made that this was a signof his gift of preaching.

Veneration

St Anthony of Padua and St Francis of Assisi byFriedrich Pacher.

Anthony was canonized by Pope Gregory IX on 30 May 1232, atSpoleto, Italy, less than one year after his death. His fame spreadthrough Portuguese evangelization, and he has been known as the mostcelebrated of the followers of Saint Francis of Assisi. He is the patronsaint of Padua and many places in Portugal and in the countries of theformer Portuguese Empire. He is especially invoked for the recovery oflost items.

"The richness of spiritual teaching contained in the Sermons was sogreat that in [16 January] 1946 Venerable Pope Pius XII proclaimed

Anthony a Doctor of the Church, attributing to him the title Doctor Evangelicus ["Evangelical Doctor"], since thefreshness and beauty of the Gospel emerge from these writings."

Cultural traditions

El Greco's painting, 1580, shows the book withonly an image of the Christ child on the page.

St Anthony is venerated all over the world as the Patron Saint for lostarticles, and is credited with many miracles involving lost people, lostthings and even lost spiritual goods.[6]

North America

In 1691 Spanish missionaries came across a small Payaya Indiancommunity along what was then known as the Yanaguana River on thefeast day of Saint Anthony, 13 June. The Franciscan chaplain, FatherDamien Massanet, with agreement General Domingo de Teran,renamed the river in his honor, and eventually a mission built nearby aswell. This mission became the focal point of a small community thateventually grew in size and scope to become the seventh largest city inthe country, the U.S. city of San Antonio, Texas.

In New York City, the Shrine Church of St. Anthony in GreenwichVillage, Manhattan celebrates his feast day, starting with the traditionalnovena of prayers to him on the 13 Tuesdays preceding his feast. Thisculminates with a week-long series of services and a street fair. Atraditional Italian-style procession is held that day through the streets of its South Village neighborhood, in which arelic of the saint is carried for veneration.[7]

Each year on the weekend of the last Sunday in August, Boston's North End holds a feast in honor of Saint Anthony.Referred to as the "Feast of All Feasts", Saint Anthony's Feast in Boston's North End was begun in 1919 by Italianimmigrants from Montefalcione, a small town near Naples, where the tradition of honoring Saint Anthony goes backto 1688.Each year the Sandia Pueblo along with Santa Clara Pueblo celebrate the feast day of Saint Anthony with traditionalNative American dancesOn 27 January 1907, in Beaumont, Texas, a church was dedicated and named in honor of Saint Anthony. The churchwas later designated a cathedral in 1966 with the formation of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Beaumont, but wasnot formally consecrated. On 28 April 1974, St. Anthony Cathedral was dedicated and consecrated by BishopWarren Boudreaux. In 2006 Pope Benedict XVI granted the cathedral the designation of minor basilica. St. AnthonyCathedral Basilica celebrated its 100th anniversary on 28 January 2007.

Anthony of Padua 6

St. Anthony gives his name to Mission San Antonio de Padua, the third Franciscan mission dedicated along ElCamino Real in California in 1771.In Ellicott City, Maryland, the Conventual Franciscans of the St. Anthony Province dedicated their old novitiatehouse as The Shrine of St. Anthony which since 1 July 2004 serves as the official Shrine to Saint Anthony for theArchdiocese of Baltimore, the nation's premier see. A large relic of Saint Anthony was donated to the Shrine in 1995by the friars in Padua as well as copies of 13 original paintings detailing particularly important moments in the life ofSt. Anthony. The Shrine of Saint Anthony is modeled upon the "Sacro Convento" in Assisi, Italy and situated uponland once owned by Charles Carroll III, the only Catholic signer of the Declaration of Independence. In addition todaily Mass and regular confession schedule, the Shrine of St. Anthony also offers retreat spaces for outside guestsand hosts an annual pilgrimage in mid-June in honor of the Feast Day of St. Anthony of Padua.

Brazil and Europe

Santo Antônio (Saint Anthony)Church in Teresópolis, Brazil

Saint Anthony is known in Portugal, Spain and Brazil as a marriage saint,because there are legends of him reconciling couples. His feast day, 13 June, isLisbon's municipal holiday, celebrated with parades and marriages. (Theprevious day, 12 June, is the Brazilian Valentine's Day.) He is one of the saintscelebrated in the Brazilian Festa Junina (also known as the "Santo Antônio"),along with John the Baptist and Saint Peter.

In the town of Brusciano, Italy, located near Naples, an annual feast in honor ofSaint Anthony is held in late August. This tradition dates back to 1875. Thetradition started when a man prayed to Saint Anthony for his sick son to getbetter. He vowed that if his son would become healthy that he would build anddance a Giglio like the people of Nola do for their patron San Paolino during theannual Fest Dei Gigli. The celebration has grown over the years to include 6Giglio towers built in honor of the saint. This tradition has also carried over toAmerica, specifically the East Harlem area of New York where the immigrantsfrom the town of Brusciano formed the Giglio Society of East Harlem and have been holding their annual feast sincethe early 1900s.

AsiaDevotion to Saint Anthony is popular throughout all of India. In Uvari, in Tamil Nadu, India, the church of SaintAnthony is home to an ancient wooden statue that is said to have cured the entire crew of a Portuguese ship sufferingfrom cholera. Saint Anthony is said to perform many miracles daily, and Uvari is visited by pilgrims of differentreligions from all over South India. Christians in Tamil Nadu have great reverence for Saint Anthony and he is apopular saint there, where he is called "The Miracle Saint." The southern Indian state of Karnataka is also a holypilgrimage center in honor of Saint Anthony (specifically located in the small village of Dornahalli, near Mysore).Local lore holds that a farmer there unearthed a statue that was later identified as being that of Saint Anthony. Thestatue was deemed miraculous and an incident of divine intervention. A church was then erected to honor the saint.Additionally, Saint Anthony is highly venerated in Sri Lanka, and the nation's Saint Anthony National Shrine inKochikade, Colombo, receives many devotees of Saint Anthony—both Catholic and non-Catholic.In Siolim, a village in the Indian state of Goa, St. Anthony is always shown holding a serpent on a leash. This is adepiction of the incident which occurred during the construction of the church wherein a snake was disruptingconstruction work. The people turned to St. Anthony for help, and placed his statue at the construction site. The nextmorning, the snake was found caught in the cord placed in the statue's hand.[8]

In artAs the number of Franciscan saints increased, iconography struggled to distinguish Anthony from the others.Because of a legend that he had once preached to the fish, this was sometimes used as his attribute. He is also oftenseen with a white lily stalk, representing his purity (see above). Other conventions referred to St. Anthony's visionaryfervor. Thus, one attribute in use for some time was a flaming heart.In 1511, Titian painted three scenes of miracles from the life of Saint Anthony: The Miracle of the Jealous Husband,which depicts the murder of a young woman by her husband; A Child Testifying to Its Mother's Innocence; and TheSaint Healing the Young Man with a Broken Limb.Another key pattern has him meditating on an open book in which the Christ Child himself appears, as in the ElGreco above. Over time the child came to be shown considerably larger than the book and some images even dowithout the book entirely.
