St. Anthony is revered as the “Saint of Miracles” and is most commonly credited with helping believers find lost objects. For hundreds of years St. Anthony has also been honored as the miracle worker who can assist those who invoke his name in finding true love. In legends and rituals dating back centuries, seekers have petitioned St. Anthony’s assistance in their quest to find their soul mates.

Some of the most famous rituals involve praying a prayer to St. Anthony every Tuesday while burning orange candles in front of his statue. Another legend promotes that the most effective way to find a life partner is by placing thirteen identical coins around the base of the statue of St. Anthony, and while praying, walking around the statue thirteen times (His Feast Day is June 13).

Still another well- known ritual requires the seeker to place the statue of St. Anthony on its head, and setting the statue upright only upon receiving the answer to your prayer of finding your true love. Finally, the simple act of setting the statue of St. Anthony in a place of honor and praying daily for his intercession is probably the most common practice of all.

However you choose to ask the divine St. Anthony to intercede on your behalf in finding your soul mate is up to you. Our human spirit gives power to myths and legends. Rituals enhance our lives and allow us to be active participants in the achievement of a desired goal. Enjoy the process! Believe in the power of prayer.

Believe in the power of myth. Believe in miracles. Believe in love
