St. Anthony -6/13- Feast Day Candle & Petition Service- Opportunity and Success.

This listing is to reserve a candle for you during the group service on Saint Anthony’s Feast Day, June 13th. You will have one candle dressed, blessed, and lit in honor of your request to Saint Anthony. He will be venerated, honored, and praised through offerings, prayers, and dedications. He will be petitioned to assist me with my Spiritual Work and to assist you with your goal.

Saint Anthony often represents opportunity and success. This comes from his connection to Saint Anthony of Padua, who is the patron saint of lost things, as well as fishermen, Native Americans, the poor, and much more. He helps return lost money, lost love, lost jobs—just about anything that has been lost. Many are familiar with the Catholic custom of bringing salt, oil, and bread to a new home, which are also great offerings for him at the start of any new undertaking. Images of this saint frequently include white lilies, which also make good offerings.

In New Orleans magic, there is also a history involving Saint Anthony. Author Denise Alvarado writes, “In New Orleans, it is said that Marie Laveau always kept a statue of St. Anthony in her front yard and when she was ‘doing a work’ she would turn the statue upside down. The upside down position of the statue of St. Anthony let people know she should not be disturbed at that point in time. When she was done with her work, she would turn him right side up again and availed herself to visitors.” The large Italian population in the city also holds him in high regard. In addition to the offerings mentioned, there are a few prayers that can be used in conjunction with a candle or image to bring this saint into your life when needed.
