Julian the Hospitaller is a Roman Catholic saint. ==History== There are three main theories of his origin: * Born in Le Mans, France, possibly from confusion with Saint Julian of Le Mans * Born in Ath, Belgium, around 7 AD (The Belgian flag is sported around the town during, and not only, the two feasts) * Born in Naples, Italy The location of the hospitals built by him is also debated between the banks of the River Gardon in Provence and an island near the River Potenza heading to Macerata. Together with Archangel Saint Raphael and Saint Christopher, he was known as the patron of travellers, as well as of the cities of Ghent and Macerata. The Paternoster (Our Father prayer) of St. Julian can be found as early as 1353 in Boccaccio's ''Decameron'', and is still passed on by word of mouth throughout some places in Italy. The account is included the 13th-century ''Leggenda Aurea'' of Genoan Giacomo da Varazze, a Dominican priest. Beautiful stained glass depicting St. Julian by an unknown artist in the Cathedral of Chartres also dates back to the 13th century. Early fresco paintings of him are found in the Cathedral of Trento (14th century) and the Palazzo Comunale di Assisi. 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「Julian the Hospitaller」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
