Saint Anthony is one of the most aesthetically pleasing patron saints ever depicted through art, or was he? We'll get to that part later, but what really can't be argued is the fact that St. Anthony lived an extraordinary life as a Portuguese Catholic Priest and the friar of the Franciscan order. To this day, he remains one of the most popular priests that ever lived, even if he was the Patron Saint of lost and stolen articles.
Well, we suppose there are worse things to go down in the history books for. You'll probably be able to recognize him from the images where he is infamously portrayed holding baby Jesus in his arms. He was born in 1195 and entered the religious order at age 15. There was no easy street for St. Anthony.
