Monday Mural - Saint Anthony

A mural of Saint Anthony, Lisbon's patron Saint,  painted on a (probably unused) house door in Alfama, Lisbon's oldest district.
If you find yourself in Lisbon on the 12th and 13th of June, you'll be able to attend the marches and festivities the city throws in honour of Saint Anthony.

If you like murals or have a mural you'd like to post, this meme is for you; just follow the Linky steps below.   Be sure to link back to this blog and visit your fellow posters.  Looking forward to your mural finds this week.  Thanks.

  8. Owww, I so love that Ingo has full hair! My Brother would have such a haircut like your monk since ages but he shaves those parts off and looks - if, as a sister I may say this - sexy.

  13. Funny, but that's not exactly how I imagine il Signore Francesco di Bernadone. Although... there is definitely something, if I read the Fioretti correctly :-)
