Traditionally it is known that if we seek to favor ourselves in love, the recommendation is to go for an image of San Antonio, regardless of its size or material.
Then he stands on his head and we ask with great devotion what we want in the sentimental field.
Then, we go to a church where San Antonio is located and 13 coins are left as an offering, to then go around the church fountain 13 times, light a white candle and say 13 Our Fathers, 13 Hail Marys and 13 Glories. These prayers must be done for 13 consecutive days.
Once the request has been fulfilled, the figure should return to its usual position. If we want it to be more effective, there are those who affirm that a letter should be written that reflects the details and also the qualities of that partner that we want.
Beyond being recognized for his dedication, San Antonio de Padua is a saint who has been more linked to the Portuguese lands.
He was born in Lisbon, he was a religious who belonged to the Franciscan Order. He studied theology as an Augustinian friar, to later become a Franciscan.
He met Saint Francis of Assisi, who entrusted him with the religious formation of his own order. In 1232 he was declared a saint, less than a year after his death.
