    Default Saint Anthony, the matchmaker saint.


    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.

    The picture was taken at "San Miguelito", a restaurant in Morelia, in Michoacan state, in Mexico. There they have the "Rincon de las Solteronas" where all the single women go and write down, asking to Saint Anthony, -in a notebook- their request for that special one. When I went, I saw a lot of notebooks filled with those request...and also there were a lot of pictures of couples that were "brought" together by Saint Anthony...I guess it works!
