St Anthony's tongue is in Portugal his birthplace.
St Bonaventure, Minister General of the Friars Minor at the time and another Doctor of the Church, was present when the Saint's corpse was exhumed, and the tongue was found intact.

I was at the tomb.His tongue was removed because he was born in Portugal.They wanted his body but got the tongue.
