Description
Anthony of Padua , OFM (Portuguese: António/Antônio de Pádua , Italian: Antonio di/da Padova , Latin: Antōnius Patavīnus ) or Anthony of Lisbon (Portuguese: António/Antônio de Lisboa , Italian: Antonio da/di Lisbona , Latin: Antōnius Olisīpōnēnsis , born Fernando Martins de Bulhões ; 15 August 1195 – 13 June 1231) was a Portuguese Catholic priest and friar of the Franciscan Order.
He 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 canonized saints in church history, being canonized less than a year after his death.
He was proclaimed a Doctor of the Church by Pope Pius XII on 16 January 1946.
