St Anthony…Patron Saint of our Home…

…this plaque is on the outside of our home in Portugal.  There is more information about this saint on the LuckyMojo site here.

The main thing this saint is known for, is helping to recover lost objects.  There are a couple of prayers / pleas to this saint on the LuckyMojo article, but my favourite is one of the simplest:

St. Anthony, St. Anthony
Please come down
Something is lost
And can't be found

The actual reason we put this saint on the outside of our building, was in remembrance of Snr. António, who we bought the quinta from in 2003.
