St. Anthony of Padua is one of the Catholic Church’s most popular saints. Saint 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 alms to St. Anthony Bread in thanksgiving to God for blessings received through the prayers of St. Anthony.

Condition:
Very good condition and no restoration has been done,  there is one tiny chip of paint on outer edge of painting  (on the right side about 3 inches from the top)  and a tiny "dot" of paint missing on the floor( also on right side about 2 inches from the bottom ) and a few very tiny scratches - I take seriously good photos and all are visible in the photos.
If you like the item, and are not immediately purchasing or making an offer/bid -- consider putting it on your "watch" list as the search engines don't always bring up the items in the order you first saw them when you search later -- or "like" my store -- it is easy to "unwatch or "unlike" but  this will save this item's listing for you and will remind you when listing is about to expire.
Also this may enable an offer at a lower price from AlleyJcat
SHIPPING:
AlleyJcat is a small 2-family member company and we can’t always offer free shipping, however, with the increasing rates,
we find anything over 3 pounds seems to be cheaper with FedEx and that is an option we list.
We are located in COLORADO (ZONE 5 USPS) so within a few hundred miles of the middle of the continental United States, that helps those on the coasts and the south with lower zone rates.
WE NEVER charge a HANDLING FEE!
WE PAY INSURANCE
.
If you choose FED EX or USPS, you are getting our FED EX or USPS discount, you don't see that amount, you only see your cost AFTER discount is applied.

All photos are mine, if it is a stock photo, it is marked "stock photo."
Colors are described as accurately as possible --
please remember not all monitors show colors the same
, so what color I see on my monitor may not be the same as yours. One person's "mauve" may be another person's "purple."  :)
