El ''Niño Fidencio'' (born 1898; died Espinazo, Mina, Nuevo León, October 19, 1938) was a famous Mexican curandero. His birth name was José de Jesús Fidencio Constantino Síntora.〔http://www.zocalo.com.mx/seccion/articulo/fidencio-falsificado-hasta-en-su-muerte|Zócalo Saltillo: ''Fidencio, falsificado hasta en su muerte'', April 11, 2009〕 Today he is revered by the Fidencista Christian Church. The Catholic Church does not recognize his official status as a saint, but his following has extended through the northern part of Mexico and the southwest of United States. This situation allows El Niño Fidencio to be recognized as a folk saint. While in elementary school, he met Father Segura, as well as Enrique López de la Fuente, who was the janitor as well as his friend, and later, his protector. They both worked to help the priest with religious services, and it was at this time that Fidencio learned to work with herbs and how to cure. == Adolescence and Adult Life == In 1912, Enrique and Fidencio left for the city of Morelia, Michoacán, where the latter worked until he decided to join the Mexican Revolution, causing them to be separated for nine years. Fidencio then moved to Loma Sola, Coahuila, where he lived with his sister Antonia. At the age of fifteen, Fidencio attended school in Mina, Nuevo León, a town close to Espinazo. According to Raúl Cadena, Fidencio did not develop sexually, was always clean-shaven, had a soft voice, and never engaged in sexual activity.〔(Cadena, Raúl. “Reseña histórica”. ''El Niño Fidencio''. In )〕 In 1921, Enrique returned from the revolutionary struggle and went to work for Antonio L. Rodríguez at the San Rafael mine in Espinazo. There he had several children, and, needing help in caring for them, went to his childhood friend. Fidencio came to town that year, and remained there for the rest of his life. It was at this point that he began to perform healings. On February 8, 1928, President Plutarco Elías Calles visited Espinazo and attended a healing session with Niño Fidencio.〔http://www.zocalo.com.mx/seccion/articulo/fidencio-falsificado-hasta-en-su-muerte|magazine=Zócalo Saltillo|title=Fidencio, falsificado hasta en su muerte|date=11 de abril de 2009〕 Although the president's ailment was unknown to the public at the time, Enrique records that he was suffering from nodular leprosy. 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「Niño Fidencio」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
