Saint Anthony
Finder of lost
Saint Anthony most commonly refers to one of two Catholic saints.
Anthony of Padua (13th century) is the patron saint of lost things—people pray to him when searching for missing objects: I said a prayer to Saint Anthony and found my keys.
Anthony the Great (3rd-4th century) was an Egyptian monk considered the father of Christian monasticism, famous for resisting demonic temptations in the desert.
Saint Anthony's fire is an old name for ergotism or erysipelas, conditions causing burning skin sensations.
