Liturgical and devotional use
Saint Anthony the Abbot (17 January) is patron of animals, butchers and numerous Italian municipalities, particularly venerated in southern Italy and rural communities. His unmistakable iconography — the tau staff, the fire, the pig — makes him immediately recognisable. The 80 cm statue is suited to churches dedicated to the saint, to roadside wayside shrines in the countryside and to the devotional spaces of farming communities, where his intercession is traditionally invoked for the protection of livestock.
