St Anthony of Egypt.

Today, 17th January, is the feast of St Anthony, father of Christian monasticism. Of him, St Athanasius writes: "From his youth until his old age, he kept his zeal for asceticism, he did not give in to the desire for costly foods because of his age, nor did he alter his clothing because of the infirmity of his body. He did not even wash his feet with water. He remained very healthy, and he could see well because his eyes were sound and undimmed. Not one of his teeth fell out, but near the gums they had become worn due to his advanced age. He remained strong in his hands and feet.... He was spoken of everywhere, and was admired by everyone, and was sought even by those who had not seen him, which is evidence of his virtue and of a soul dear to God.” This statue of the Saint is in the Iglesia-Parroquia Matriz de Nuestra Señora de La Concepción in the town of San Cristobal de La Laguna, Tenerife.
