Saint Anthony’s Facial Features
At the time of his death in 1231, it is said that the Catholic bells rang without anyone triggering it. This action led to continuous weeping and mourning by children in the streets and those who had come to love him. However, 30 years later, his body was exhumed, and the only thing that remained was his bottom jawbone and tongue. These are still on display to this date and open for visitors enthusiastic about historical facts.
Saint Anthony’s Facial Features
Theologians and researchers from The University of St. Anthony of Padua’s Anthropology Museum teamed up in 2013 with a famous designer at the University of Sao Paolo to create a 3-D face image of Saint Anthony. The life of the saint and his doings are still, to this day, lodged in the history of the Catholic Church. In 1946, Saint Anthony was proclaimed the “Doctor of the Church” by Pope Pius XII.
