St. Anthony of Egypt MedalSt. Anthony of Egypt Medal. Patron Saint of Animals Monks Gravediggers. At 20, Anthony was so moved by the Gospel message, Go, sell what you have, and give to [the] poor (Mark 10: 21b), that he actually did just that with his large inheritance. Most of Anthonys life was spent in solitude. He gave the Church and the world the witness of solitary asceticism, great personal mortification and prayer. Medal available in Sterling Silver or 14KT Gold fill.
