EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image from the annals of religious history, Saint Antony of Padua (1195-1231) is depicted in a humble and reverent stance as he holds the infant Jesus, who graciously appears in the arms of his mother, the Virgin Mary. The scene unfolds in the hallowed confines of a chapel, where Antony, known for his profound devotion and deep spiritual connection, is granted a rare and wondrous vision. The year was 1231, and Antony, a Franciscan friar, had retreated to a hermitage near Padua, Italy, to devote himself to prayer and contemplation. One day, as he stood in the chapel, lost in meditation, he was suddenly overcome with a profound sense of the presence of the Holy Trinity. As he gazed upon the altar, the vision unfolded before his very eyes: Mary, the Mother of God, stood before him, her countenance radiant with grace and love. She extended the infant Jesus towards Antony, allowing him to cradle the Son of God in his arms. This vision, which came to be known as the "Miracle of the Child Jesus," is a testament to Antony's deep faith and piety. It is said that the vision left an indelible mark on the saint, strengthening his resolve to serve God and spread the message of the Gospel. The image of Antony holding the infant Jesus, with Mary looking on approvingly, has become an enduring symbol of the power of faith and the boundless love of the Virgin Mary for her son. This moving scene continues to inspire and captivate the hearts of believers and art lovers alike, offering a glimpse into the rich tapestry of religious history.
