Padua
Basilica of Saint Anthony
The basilica of Saint Anthony holds the tomb of a saint to whom the world still writes letters. The cloisters are quiet; the chapel of the tomb is never empty. Light falls through the domes onto marble worn by those who came with lost things and found names.
A pilgrim of Palomeya comes with names for the living and the departed, remains for Holy Mass, and leaves a candle at the tomb. Palomeya does not speak for Padua. Someone simply goes into the church and does what you asked, in person.
