Anthony of Padua, St
(redirected from St Anthony of Padua)

     0.01 sec.

Anthony of Padua, St (1195–1231)

Portuguese Franciscan preacher who opposed the relaxations introduced into the order. Born in Lisbon, the son of a nobleman, he became an Augustinian monk, but in 1220 joined the Franciscans. Like St Francis, he is said to have preached to animals. He died in Padua, Italy, and was canonized 1232. He is popularly designated the patron saint of lost property. Feast day 13 June.

After joining the Franciscans, he sailed to Morocco, hoping to preach to the Saracens and be martyred. Illness forced him to return to Europe. In 1221 he attended the General Chapter in Assisi and thereafter taught theology at Bologna, Montepellier, Toulouse, and Puy-en-Valence, gaining a great reputation as a preacher.
