Saint Anthony is the patron saint of single women. If you pray
to him, he’ll bring you a husband.On June 13th, we celebrate the Day of Saint Anthony. He is one of the most popular saints in México, mainly because of his fame as the matchmaker saint.
An old tradition consists in people leaving the saint's image upside down blackmailing him to only put him in his normal position after they found a husband / wife.
Another way to force poor Saint Anthony to give a helping hand to the desperate singles is removing the baby Jesus from his arms and keeping them separated until a good wife (or husband) is found.
