Eleven couples got married this time during the traditional event which refers to the 12th century Saint Anthony of Padua who was born in Lisbon and is considered a matchmaker and patron of young brides. The “Weddings of St. Anthony” tradition dating from 1958 is part of the Lisboa festivities and was meant as a way of giving couples in financial difficulties the opportunity to get married.
