What the Saint Anthony medal means

Saint Anthony is the saint people turn to for both small and large needs: finding something lost, asking for a good partner or a good wedding, or giving thanks for a child. That is why his medal is given for engagements and weddings as well as to newborns. It is not an amulet: it is a wearable reminder of faith.

A little history

He was born in Lisbon at the end of the 12th century, became a Franciscan, and was an extraordinary preacher in Italy and France. He died in Padua on June 13, 1231, and was canonized the following year, one of the fastest canonizations in history. In 1946, Pope Pius XII proclaimed him a Doctor of the Church.
