They were founded in 529 by Benedict of Nursia, a 6th-century monk who laid the foundations of Benedictine monasticism by formulating his Rule.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Fernando de Bulh\u00f5es (known as Saint Anthony) was born in Lisbon, Portugal, in 1195, the son of a wealthy family. In 1220, while studying in Coimbra, he entered the Franciscan Order, adopting the name Ant\u00f3nio.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">His missionary travels would lead him to Italy, where he settled in Padua. Due to his immense popularity, he was canonised less than a year after he died in 1232.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The site of the family house where Fernando was born, located very close to Lisbon Cathedral, was turned into a small chapel in the 15th century.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Now, what is the significance of St. Anthony? Anthony is most famous for being the patron saint of lost items, but he is also the patron saint of amputees, animals, the elderly, horses, oppressed people, poor people, pregnant women, and shipwrecks, as one<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">of the most popular Catholic saints, Why do people pray to St. Anthony?<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">. Today, people pray to St. Anthony when they&#8217;ve lost their keys, rings, or other goods. They may also pray for someone who has lost faith or a lost loved one. Anthony was born and raised by a wealthy family in Lisbon, Portugal, and died in Padua, Italy. Noted by his contemporaries for his powerful preaching, expert knowledge of scripture, and undying love and devotion to the poor and the sick, he was one of the most quickly canonised saints in church history, canonised less than a year after his death.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">He was proclaimed a Doctor of the Church by Pope Pius XII on 16 January 1946. He won great admiration as a preacher and was noted for his simple yet profound teaching of the Catholic faith. He died en route to Padua, Italy, where he was buried. Anthony was the most celebrated of<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">St. Francis of Assisi&#8217;s followers and had the reputation of a miracle worker.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">What happens when you pray to St. Anthony? Anthony became the centre of a strong devotion in his later years and the years<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">after his death. People began looking for his help when they misplaced or lost something of value, and many reported experiencing success in finding their<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">lost possessions after praying to him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">St. Anthony\u2019s feast day celebration is a great annual event. Most Catholics on the island are looking forward to the event. Let me show part of the procession in the 2021 feast, the Procession of the Saint.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Anthony is carried through the streets of the North End; it is followed by devotees, numerous marching bands, and floats. Throughout the 10-hour-long procession, numerous donations are pinned to the statue, hoping the saint will answer the donor&#8217;s prayer as the band performs Marcia Reale.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Hello viewers, I am a Buddhist, not practising the traditional way, but some inner energy compelled me to edit this video after waking up at 2 a.m. When we visited the church, I did not have my camera ready to capture the site and the church, which was very disappointing. So, all the filming captures are from my old Samsung 10+ telephone, but I must say that the pictures have come as if done with a proper camera, and I am most satisfied.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Further, I want to mention that I felt inner strength and force while editing this video. For the first time, at 3 a.m. after editing this video, I walked nearly 7 kilometres in one stretch, which I had never done before, and I feel healthier and more robust. This is not just imagination. I would like you to watch this video and would like to reciprocate the same health and inner force to you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Stay healthy, and goodbye until we meet again.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Visit to the St. Anthony\u2019s Church in Wahacotte &#8211; By Dr harold Gunatillake If you&#8217;re ever in Sri Lanka, make sure to visit the stunning St. Anthony&#8217;s Church in Wahakotte.
