Saint Anthony

Saint Anthony was born in Portugal in 1195. He passed away quite young at the age of 36, but he definitely made a huge impact during his day, with his great ability to heal. The Catholic Church adores Saint Anthony since he was canonized as a saint really quickly, the second-fastest to be exact. Only a year after he passed away, he was declared by the church as the saint of lost things.

What Saint Anthony Really Looked Like

It has been said that when Saint Anthony died, children cried in the street and bells rang by themselves. His body was actually exhumed three decades after his death, but the researchers only had his tongue and jawbone to guide them. The team behind this recreation of Saint Anthony’s real face were composed of the University of St. Anthony of Padua’s Anthropology Museum researchers and a 3-D designer from the University of Sao Paolo.
