Saint Peter de Regalado ((スペイン語:San Pedro Regalado); Latin ''Regalatus'') (1390 – March 30, 1456) was a Franciscan (friar minor) and reformer. He was born at Valladolid, Spain. His parents were of noble birth and conspicuous for their wealth and virtue. Having lost his father in his early youth, he was piously educated by his mother. At the age of ten years Peter begged to be admitted into the Conventual Franciscans, which favour was granted him three years afterwards in the convent of his native town. In 1404, he became one of the first disciples of Pedro de Villacreces, who in 1397 had introduced into Spain the reform of the observance of which he became one of the most zealous propagators. In the newly founded convent at Aguilera, Peter found the life of solitude, prayer, and eminent poverty, which had always been the greatest object of his desire. In 1415, he became superior of the convent at Aguilera and, on the death of Pedro de Villacreces (1422), the convent at Tribulos (del Abroyo). He observed nine Lents, fasting on bread and water, and was endowed with the gift of miracles and prophecy and of every virtue. When his body was exhumed 36 years after his death, at the insistence of Isabella the Catholic, it was found incorrupt and placed in a more precious tomb. He was beatified by Pope Innocent XI on 11 March 1684, and canonized by Pope Benedict XIV on 29 June 1746. His feast is celebrated 13 May, the day of the translation of his body. In art he is represented with flames bursting from his heart. ==References== * 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「Peter de Regalado」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
