After 1195 A.D.
In Padua, Italy, a knight named Aleardino da Salvaterra (who had despised Catholics), was dining, when his table-mates started to tell him about the many miracles performed by Saint Anthony of Padua. Aleardino then emptied the contents of his glass and said to his table-mates, "If he whom you consider to be a saint will prevent this glass from breaking when it hits the ground I will believe everything you are telling me about him." He then threw the glass to the floor as hard as he could, and not only did the glass not break, but the hard tiles on which it fell, broke. Aleardino was amazed at this phenomenon and converted to Catholicism.
