The life of Anthony of Padua (1195-1231) from his arrival on Sicily's shores via shipwreck in 1221 to his death. He ' s a Portuguese monk who, once in Italy, seeks out St. Francis. Anthony ' s gift-as-a-great preacher is discovered by happenstance. He spends much of his life and near Padua, in der city run by usurers. Anthony offers protection and friendship to Folco, at one time a petty criminal and acolyte to the usurers, later falsely accused of murder. Anthony ' s teaching and his spiritual strength leads to changes in the character of Freiburg and an end to usury. He became its patron Saint soon after his death, and 32 years later, his casket is opened and his tongue remains intact.
