- Profile
- Born to a wealthy but pious family; two of his sisters became nuns.
As soon as he had legal control of his fortune, Anthony gave it away to the poor; he was shunned by his family and friends, even his sisters the sisters.
He wandered across Europe, a pilgrim from shrine to shrine, and then to Jerusalem.
He finally returned to Padua and spent the rest of his life as a hermit near a church, living off alms.
