St Anthony is the hope of the absent-minded and the forgetful - here's why: Anthony had borrowed a valuable Psalter which he believed he misplaced. Unknown to him, a young novice had stolen it and was escaping with the goods. As Anthony prayed for its recovery, the young man was terrorized by a menacing vision and rushed back quickly to return the book. The prescription for finding lost items: 'Dear St Anthony, I pray, bring it back without delay'; or the more informal - 'Tony, Tony, look around; something's lost and must be found.' St Anthony is patron of searchers of lost things, the poor, travelers and Portugal.

Standing 4 inches tall, the religious Saint Anthony resin statue is the perfect size for a windowsill, desk, or nightstand. Our Saint Anthony statue makes a great spiritual gift for anyone who has a special devotion to Saint Anthony and would be especially appropriate for a Confirmation candidate taking the Confirmation name of Anthony. Like all of the statues in our 'Saints and Protector' series, this Saint Anthony statue comes in an attractive gift box with a prayer to Saint Anthony printed on the front of it.

His feast day is June 13.
