@ellie2000 As far as I'm aware, prayers are a way of connecting to a higher being like God. Some religions such as Islam pray at certain times of the day as a way of devotion to their religion. Reasons for praying generally vary but another reason might be to ask for support if someone is going through a difficult time, or they might ask for a sign that someone like God is out there if they are struggling with their faith. It really depends on the person, I'm guessing. I'm an atheist so I can't really say myself the ultimate purpose of prayers but I think ultimately it's for solidarity and comfort.

I also don't know who St Anthony is either, sorry! Good question though, hopefully someone on here can answer!
