	St. Anthony of Padua - Detail In art, at first he was simply shown in the habit of the Franciscan order to which he belonged. Another key pattern has him meditating on a book in which the Christ Child himself appears. Over time the child came to be shown considerably larger than the book, and some images even do without the book entirely.
