For the first time, two Holy Relics of St. Anthony of Padua will visit the Archdiocese of Atlanta (Georgia) from Friday December 6 to Sunday 15, accompanied by Friars Mario Conte and Fabio Turrisendo, two Franciscan friars from the Pontifical Basilica of St. Anthony in Padua, Italy.
The two Relics include fragments of St. Anthony’s Facial Skin and his Floating Rib.
The Relic of the Floating Rib has special significance for the friars of Padua because it has been venerated by both Sister Lucia of Fatima and Pope Francis.
