Between 1195 A.D. - 1231 A.D.
During his travels through Rimini, Italy, where there were a lot of heretics, (now Saint) Anthony of Padua started to preach, but the people there did not want to listen to him, and they even mocked him. Anthony then went to the seashore, saying to the people, "Because you show yourself unworthy of God’s word, behold, I turn to the fishes so that your unbelief may be shown up more clearly." While he was speaking about how God cared for the creatures of the water, a school of fish swam towards him, partly sticking their heads out of the water (as if to listen to him speaking). Many onlookers began to cry, asking for forgiveness, and many tried to implore others to come and see the miracle. At the end of his sermon, Anthony blessed the fish and they swam away.
