St. Anthony in the North End

St. Anthony looks so young and innocent. He is holding a child in his arms. Why is the size of the child always off in relationship to the adult? There is a statue in the cemetery in Stoughton with the same issue. Child is too small. Well, saintliness overcomes rules of proportion, and one doesn't want to quibble with the fantastic feast the North End puts on for the saint and the faithful and even the tourist trade. The whole freshman class of Stonehill College seemed to be in attendance. They must think they've come to a really cool part of the country. They have.
