St. Anthony
Lost items' patron
St.
Anthony most often refers to Anthony of Padua, a 13th-century Portuguese Franciscan friar venerated as the patron saint of lost things—Catholics pray to him when searching for misplaced items: I said a prayer to St. Anthony and found my keys five minutes later.
The name may also refer to Anthony the Great, the Egyptian desert father considered the founder of monasticism.
