Photographer's Note

Saint Antony is one of the most known saints of Catholic church and famous by his miracles.
It is told once he was talking to the people of a town and nobody was paying attention in his words, then he came to the edge of the sea and said something like: --- come here, little brothers of the sea, hear the words of God that mankind doesn't want to hear. --- And then the people became surprised to see the fishes with the head out of the water, hearing the preach.
Anyway this is a matter of faith, but it is ever a marvelous history.
I found this modern detail in a church of Padua, we can see saint Antony and the fishes, there were other scenes around too.

................................................

Santo Antônio é uma dos santos mais conhecidos da Igreja Católica e famoso por seus milagres.
Dizem que certa feita ele estava numa cidade, pregando, mas as pessoas não se interessavam pelo que ele dizia. Então ele se aproximou do mar e disse algo assim: irmãozinhos do mar, venham ouvir as palavras de Deus que of homens não querem ouvir. -- E para surpresa do povo, viram uma grande quantidade de peixes com as cabeças para fora da água, ouvindo seu sermão.
Claro, isso é um assunto de fé, mas mesmo para quem não acredita, é uma linda história.
Encontrei este detalhe moderno num altar de uma igreja de Pádua, havia mais cenas ao redor.
