Saint Anthony the Great was born in Upper Egypt to a rich and virtuous family in 251 AD. At a young age, however, he lost both of his parents. Quickly, he decided to abandon life in the world and to depart to the desert, once he had first arranged for the care of his younger sister and distributed his family’s great wealth to the poor of the region. In the desert, he tamed his soul and subdued his passions, reaching the highest limits of asceticism, so that the Saint’s soul could even leave his body while still in this life. He became the model for all ascetics. Many of them came to the desert to hear him and receive his counsel. He gave up his blessed soul to God at the old age of 105 years old. His memory is honoured on the 17th of January. Work of ARTIS GILDING AND RESTORING.
