Blessed Jakov Varingez (1400 – 27 April 1496) was a Croatian Roman Catholic professed religious of the Order of Friars Minor. He later assumed the name of "Giacomo of Bitetto" after his profession into that order. He was beatified on 29 December 1700 after Pope Clement XI confirmed his cultus and was proclaimed to be Venerable on 19 December 2009 after Pope Benedict XVI recognized his life of heroic virtue. ==Life== Jakov Varingez was born in Zadar in 1400 to Leonardo and Beatrice Varingez. He relocated to Bari in the Kingdom of Naples in order to escape Turkish invaders of Croatia between the ages of 18-20. It was there that he felt a deep call to religious life and thus decided to join the Order of Friars Minor in Bitetto. He spent his time there as a cook as well as a sacristan and gardener. He was known for his devout and simple life and was prone to ecstasies. He was also noted as being a miracle worker and for his skill of levitation. He worked with victims of the plague in 1482. Varingez died on 27 April 1496 at the age of 96 and was exhumed two decades after his death in which it was found that he was incorrupt. 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「Jakov Varingez」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
