Thirteen years ago Pope Francis was still known as Archbishop Jorge Bergoglio of Buenos Aires. In 2000, Bergoglio led a procession through the streets of the Argentinean capital carrying an ancient relic of St. Anthony of Padua. The popular Franciscan saint is known to help people find lost items such as lost jobs, lost homes, and lost hope.
Bergoglio's devotion to the 13th century friar, who was a contemporary of St. Francis of Assisi, can be seen in this photo.
