A close-up of the ''Pietra-Guanciale di S. Antonio (Sec. XIII)'' (stone pillow of Saint Anthony, 13th century), a relic displayed inside the Basilica del Santo on April 5, 2026, in Padua, Italy. The stone, bound with a leather strap sealed with red wax, is believed to have been used as a pillow by Saint Anthony of Padua during his ascetic life as a Franciscan friar.
