Anthony of Padua (1195-1231), a disciple and friend of St. Francis of Assisi, became known as the finder of lost things because of a simple story from his life: a Franciscan novice took Anthony's Psalter (book of Psalms) without permission. Anthony prayed for its return. The novice had a frightening apparition and rushed to return the book. Many people view Anthony as the finder not only of lost articles but also of lost intangibles: he is invoked to return lost health, lost happiness, lost peace.... In this plaque, Anthony in one hand holds his Psalter; in the other he holds a medieval key: medieval keys, like their modern brethren, were often lost.
