Saint Anthony of Padua

- Not kept

- lost things
Anthony was baptised Ferdinand in Lisbon, and he became a Franciscan after the bodies of the first Franciscan martyrs were brought back from Morocco, hoping to preach Christ and die for him as they had. God gave him a preacher's and teacher's life instead, in Italy and the south of France, and when he died near Padua at thirty-six a crowd of children carried the news through the city, crying "The holy Father is dead". Gregory IX, who had heard him preach, made him a saint within a year, and ever since Christians have asked his help to find what they have lost.

祝日、2つの暦、そして守護聖人
聖人の祝日とは、教会が礼拝の中でその聖人を記念する毎年恒例の日のことであり、ほとんどの聖人にとってそれは彼らが亡くなった日です。これらはキリスト教の暦の中で最も古い祝日の一部です。4世紀の復活祭とペンテコステ、クリスマスと公現祭に続き、教会が守り始めた次の祝日は使徒や殉教者の祝日でした。
多くの聖人には、西洋教会と正教会が何世紀にもわたって別々に暦を構築してきたため、検索ツールに2つの日付が表示されることがあります。同じ聖人を異なる日に記念することもあります。西洋教会は聖ユダを聖シモンと共に10月28日に記念しますが、正教会は6月19日に記念します。ロシア正教会のように、現在でも古いユリウス暦に従っている正教会もあり、これは現在の暦より13日遅れているため、彼らの12月6日は私たちの12月19日にあたります。そのような場合、検索ツールには両方の日付が表示されます。
守護聖人とは、教会が特定の場所、仕事、または必要のために助けを求めてきた聖人のことであり、古いカトリック百科事典にあるように「神への特別な執り成し手であり、適切な代弁者」です。1870年にピウス9世が聖ヨセフを全教会の守護聖人に任命したように、教皇によって宣言された守護聖人もいれば、聖アントニオと失くし物の例のように、長い伝統から生まれたものがほとんどです。
私たちは、人々が名前、必要性、日付によって最も検索する聖人200人を選び、正教会のキリスト教徒が求める聖人や使徒を追加しました。各項目のすべての事実は、カトリック百科事典、アメリカ正教会の聖人伝、バチカンニュース、聖座の公式文書など、私たちが確認し明記した情報源に基づいています。聖人の物語が主に伝説に基づいている場合は、その旨を項目に記載しています。
