The Four Holy Marshals (''Vier Marschälle Gottes'' or just ''Vier Marschälle'') are four saints venerated in the Rhineland, especially at Cologne, Liège, Aachen, and Eifel.〔(marschaelle )〕 They are conceived as standing particularly close to throne of God, and thus powerful intercessors.〔(Vier Marschälle - Kathpedia )〕 Their joint veneration is comparable to that of the Fourteen Holy Helpers, who are also venerated in the Rhineland. They are considered “marshals of God” and were invoked against diseases and epidemics during the Middle Ages. Evidence of their cult is testified by documentation dating from 1478; however, the joint cult of these four saints may have existed earlier.〔〔(Vier heilige Marschälle - Ökumenisches Heiligenlexikon )〕 The cult reached its high point in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries and diminished by the seventeenth.〔 There were churches dedicated to them at Hüngersdorf, Schleiden, and in the Mariwald.〔(Die Kapelle )〕 ==The Four Holy Marshals== The four saints are: In terms of protection over animals, Anthony as the patron of pigs, Cornelius cattle, Hubertus dogs, and Quirinus horses.〔 In addition, each saint has its own particular place of special veneration: Anthony was venerated at Cologne, Hubertus at St-Hubert in the Ardennes, Cornelius at Aachen, and Quirinus at Neuss.〔 Image:Mathis Gothart Grünewald 029.jpg|Anthony the Great Image:Heiliger Cornelius.jpg|Pope Cornelius Image:Meister des Marienlebens von Werden 001.jpg|Hubertus Image:Neuss Siegel.jpg|Quirinus 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Four Holy Marshals」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
