This painting is in a small shrine built in 1611 in the village in which my parents where born and lived for part of their lives.
I am not able to provide further information on the painting.
Saint Antony is the patron saint of the village, and clearly there is a special devotion to him, there.
They call him: "The Saint of the impossible causes".
I think I should ask the protection of Saint Antony right now, and, please don't be malicious, dear readers: I would like to ask Saint Antony to help me finding the wisdom, courage and strenght to bear testimony to the Lord in this difficult moment of my life.
