FALÅGO GUATO GI AS SAN ANTONIO



Yesterday was Saint Anthony's feast.

Whenever older Chamorros lost anything, they would be told, "Falågo guato gi as San Antonio!  Fangågao gi as San Antonio ya siempre ha soda'e hao ni malingu-mo."  "Run to Saint Anthony!  Ask him and he will surely find what you lost."

Here's a story from a woman named Antonia, after the saint, whose husband Francisco found something missing.  So who found it?  Saint Anthony?  Or Saint Francis?  It doesn't matter, they were both Franciscans.
