Handmade St. Anthony Statue
Product Description
Finder of Lost Things
Anthony of Padua (1195-1231), a disciple and friend of St. Francis of Assisi, became known as the finder of lost things because of a simple story from his life: a Franciscan novice took Anthony's Psalter without permission. Anthony prayed for its return. The novice had a frightening apparition and rushed to return the book. Many people view Anthony as the finder not only of lost articles but also of lost intangibles: he is invoked to return lost health, lost happiness, lost peace.... In this plaque, Anthony in one hand holds his Psalter; in the other he holds a medieval key: medieval keys, like their modern brethren, were often lost.
This custom made figure can hung, or placed to stand and are suited to be placed outside. Also comes boxed with history card of the saint.

The Traditional St. Anthony of Padua 4.00 out of 5
| By: | Padre (Johnstown, PA, May 13, 2010) |
|---|---|
| Pros: | Beautiful craftsmanship; Good setting in niche; Nice symbolism; |
| Cons: | Better symbolism; Holding the Christ Child; |
| Bottom Line: |
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
I think that the artist's rendition is quite good but I prefer to see St. Anthony in his traditional setting of holding the Christ Child on the Book of the Gospels. |
