San Antonio shrine

One of many San Antonio (Sant'Antonio da Padova) shrines in Venice, this one guards a bridge in Cannaregio, the Ponte dei Ormesini. I love the little tablecloth the icon is standing on.

Another darling shrine of St. Anthony! I wonder why there’s a water bottle to the left of the saint.

Maria, I wondered about that bottle too. It might be a vase for flowers?
