You are correct!!


Answer: St Anthony of Padua, patron saint of lost and stolen articles, was a powerful Franciscan preacher and teacher. He’s typically portrayed holding the child Jesus—or a lily—or a book—or all three—in his arms. Many people give donations to help the poor in thanksgiving for gifts they’ve attributed to St Anthony’s intercession. They call this St Anthony’s bread.
