{"product_id":"saint-anthony","title":"Saint Anthony of Padua Miniature Saint Statue","description":"\u003ch2\u003eSt. Anthony\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSaint Anthony was born in Lisbon, Portugal, in 1195 and devoted his early years to prayer and the study of Scripture. His life changed when he was inspired by the witness of Franciscan missionaries martyred in Morocco — he joined the Franciscan Order and God redirected his path toward preaching. He became one of the greatest preachers in Church history, drawing crowds of thousands with his profound knowledge and powerful calls to conversion. Known for his tender devotion to the infant Jesus and his love for the poor, Anthony died on June 13, 1231, at just thirty-five years old — and was canonized less than a year later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSaint Anthony teaches us the virtues of \u003cb\u003efaith, persistence, and trusting God’s plan\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eFeast Day: June 13 | Patron of Lost Things, the Poor, and Travelers\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eRead more about \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/littledropsofwater.com\/blogs\/itsfuntobecatholicblog\/saint-anthony-of-padua-the-saint-who-finds-whats-lost\"\u003eSaint Anthony, the finder of lost things, and why families call on him with the smallest worries →\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWHAT MAKES HIM SPECIAL\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis statue is hand-designed by Little Drops of Water and hand-painted in fine resin. He is shown in the brown Franciscan habit, the infant Jesus seated in the crook of his arm and a lily of purity beside him.

Behind the famous prayer is a deeper trust: that God watches over every detail of our lives, and that nothing we bring to him is too small. To keep Saint Anthony near is to be reminded to trust God’s plan, in great things and in little ones alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePERFECT FOR THE FAMILIES\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA keepsake gift for:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA child’s \u003cstrong\u003eBaptism\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eFirst Communion\u003c\/strong\u003e, or name day\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA gift for a \u003cstrong\u003etraveler\u003c\/strong\u003e or anyone searching for what is lost\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003efeast of Saint Anthony (June 13)\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA keepsake for a family named or devoted to \u003cstrong\u003eAnthony\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChristmas\u003c\/strong\u003e or a gift of trust in a worried time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere it belongs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is at home wherever a family prays — on a bedside table, a bookshelf, a desk at work, or the corner of a home altar.
