Anthony the Great 30 cm

Ceramic panel depicting Saint Anthony the Great in relief, glazed and painted by hand according to the traditional technique of Faenza. Saint Anthony is depicted with monastic habit while he reads the scriptures. At his feet are painted two animals and the fire.

Indeed, Saint Anthony the Great is the patron saint of domestic animals and livestock. For this reason, its image is traditionally placed in stables and farmyards. The Saint is also the protector of fire: he is therefore the patron of bakers, firefighters, and many other categories related to the use of fire, among which the potters!

The feast of Saint Anthony is celebrated on January 17th. Traditionally the Church blesses the animals, the stalls and the ovens, placing them under its protection.

Suitable for outdoor use.
