St.Anthony of Padua Shrine

[cherubim]

A year ago I visited the Basilica of St.Anthony of Padua/Lisbon in Padua/Padova,Italy.It’s so magnificent in and out.The tomb of St.Anthony is placed next to the main altar and venerated daily also the reliquary is full of the remainings of this Saint,e.g.,his wooden casket/coffin,his tunic,his jaw,his paperworks.The best-known is his incorruptible tongue.I wish I could kiss his tongue!I prayed in front of his tomb,touched it and kissed it.I was so overwhelmed that I wept.How great this Saint was and I love him!
One of the paintings was the real picture of the Saint,but I couldn’t see it clearly.
I promised to St.Anthony to go back to Padua and I’ll definitely go back there.He’s granted some of my prayer requests too and his name will be always praised.

-Speak to me,Lord and I will listen-

What an incredibly beautiful, holy place! I was there in June for his feast day and was blown away!

The basilica has changed a bit since you were there, though. They have moved his body to another part of the basilica. It is now a stand-alone shrine inside the basilica. There is a place in the cloisters next to the gift shop that documents the moving of his remains.
