Saint Anthony of Padua.
Saint Anthony of Padua (Portuguese: Santo António de Lisboa), born Fernando Martins de Bulhões (15 August 1195 – 13 June
1231), also known as Anthony of Lisbon, was a Portuguese Catholic priest and friar of the Franciscan Order. He was born and
raised by a wealthy family in Lisbon, Portugal, and died in Padua, Italy. Noted by his contemporaries for his powerful preaching,
expert knowledge of scripture, and undying love and devotion to the poor and the sick, he was one of the most quickly canonized
saints in church history. He was proclaimed a Doctor of the Church on 16 January 1946. He is also the patron saint of lost things.
