Biography of St. Anthony of Padua
St. Anthony of Padua, originally named Fernando, was born in 1195 in Lisbon, Portugal, to a noble family and received his education at the Cathedral School in Lisbon. At age 15, he joined the Augustinian order, dedicating himself to prayer and study, showing exceptional knowledge of the Bible due to his retentive memory. Encountering the relics of martyred Franciscans at 25, he desired to emulate their sacrifice but felt limited as an Augustinian, leading him to join the Franciscan order in 1221, changing his name to Anthony.
