Anthony of Padua, O.F.M. (born Fernando Martins de Bulhões; 15 August 1195 – 13 June 1231), also known as Anthony of Lisbon, was a Portuguese Catholic Priest and Friar of the Franciscan Order. Though he died in Padua, Italy, he was born and raised in a wealthy family in Lisbon, Portugal.

Noted by his contemporaries for his forceful Preaching and expert knowledge of Scripture, he was the second-fastest Canonised Saint (after Saint Peter of Verona) and proclaimed a Doctor of the Church on 16 January 1946. He is also the Saint of finding things or lost people.
