Saint Anthony

Born in 1195, Saint Anthony died at just 36 years old. However, he was famous when he was alive because he could reportedly heal the sick. He was canonized quickly after his death. He was the second-fastest one to be canonized! Just one year after he passed away, he was declared the saint of lost things.

It was said that children cried and bells rang out by themselves after his death. His body was exhumed 3 decades after that, but researchers only retrieved his tongue and jawbone. This project had been a collaboration between the University of St. Anthony of Padua and the University of Sao Paolo.
