Picture of the Day – St Anthony of Padua

- I took this picture of my patron saint during my visit to Macau on 9 Jun 2007 in the Cathedral Church
Today (June 13), the Church celebrates the feast of St. Anthony of Lisbon (more popularly referred as St Anthony of Padua). St Anthony was not only a scholar but also brilliant orator.
When the vault in which for thirty years his sacred body had reposed was opened, the flesh was found reduced to dust but the tongue uninjured, fresh, and of a lively red colour. St. Bonaventure, beholding this wonder … exclaiming: “O Blessed Tongue that always praised the Lord, and made others bless Him, now it is evident what great merit thou hast before God.” — Catholic Encyclopedia
