FEAST DAY OF ST. ANTHONY - 13th June



Happy Feast Day
of St. Anthony of Padua

This is a very festive and commemorative  day in Goa. Today is the feast day of Saint Anthony of Padua, whose feast day is celebrated with much pomp and fervour in many churches, chapels and in homes around Goa, where many people of all ages bear the name Anthony like myself.  Besides churches and chapels being dedicated to this famous Saint, many educational institutions also bear this phenomenal name. The name St. Anthony is also used by business owners. The name 'ST. ANTHONY' is seen inscribed on buses and cars by transport companies plying around all over the Goan country side and also on signboard of shops. But the one that takes the cake is 'ST. ANTHONY'S BAR AND RESTAURANT".
