*Ø* Blogmanac August 22, 1195 | St Anthony (or Antony) of Padua
Consider every day that you are then for the first time – as it were – beginning; and always act with the same fervour as on the first day you began.Saint Anthony of Padua
St Anthony of Padua has become the patron saint of careless people, especially those who have lost an animal, a child, or a valuable article.
He was a patron of animals, like his friend, St Francis of Assisi, and it is said that at Rimini, he once preached to attentive fish when his sermon failed to enthral the congregation. There are many miracles associated with his life. On one famous occasion, bilocation occurred: he was actually in two places at once. Or, so it is said.
In Rome, horses and mules and their trappings are blessed on his feast day (June 13 – Roman Catholic feast days are often commemorated on the anniversary of the saints’ deaths, rarely on their birthdays).
A folk saying recorded in New Mexico, USA is that on St Anthony's Day, as well as on St Joseph's Day (March 19), one must give strangers food, since the strangers may be the saints themselves.
