Easter At The Basilica Of Saint Anthony Of Padua, Italy
The ''Lingua di S. Antonio'' (tongue of Saint Anthony of Padua) is displayed in a tall Gothic gold reliquary inside the Cappella delle Reliquie (Chapel of Relics) at the Basilica del Santo on April 5, 2026, in Padua, Italy. The tongue was found incorrupt during the exhumation of Saint Anthony's body in 1263, more than 30 years after his death in 1231, and has been venerated as a relic ever since.
