St. Anthony's Lily Pictures and statues of St. Anthony of Padua often portray him holding a Lily. This beautiful flower has long been regarded as in Christian art as a symbol of integrity of life. In many parts of the world, Lilies are in bloom in the middle of June when the feast of St. Anthony is observed. This custom is associated with an unusual event that took place on Corsica during the French Revolution. Franciscans on the island had been forced to leave, but people continued to honor St. Anthony as the friars had taught them. On his feast, bouquets of Lilies were placed at the Saint's shrine in the deserted church. Many month's later, the Lilies were found still fresh and white. Permission to bless Lilies in honor of St. Anthony was given by Pope Leo XIII.
