Saint Torpes of Pisa (''Torpetius, Tropesius'') ((フランス語:Saint Torpès, Saint Tropez), (イタリア語:Torpete, Torpes, Torpè), (ロシア語:Апо́стол Трофи́м)) (died 65 AD) is venerated as an early Christian martyr. He is the namesake of Saint-Tropez, France. His legend states that he was martyred during the persecutions of Nero.〔 Most of the accounts about him are considered unreliable.〔(St. Torpes - Catholic Online )〕 Nothing else is known about his life.〔(Catholic Online )〕 He is first mentioned in sources dating from the 9th century.〔(San Torpete (Torpes, Torpè) )〕 ==Legend== Elaborations of his legend state that he was a gladiator or knight who was an attendant to the Emperor Nero, or head of the emperor's personal bodyguard.〔(History of Saint )〕〔(Le Chevalier Torpès, son histoire avec Saint-Tropez / NRJ ST TROPEZ )〕 His full name was ''Caïus Silvius Torpetius'' and he was a native of Pisa.〔(Le Chevalier Torpès, son histoire avec Saint-Tropez / NRJ ST TROPEZ )〕 Torpes became a Christian after being converted by Saint Paul. He professed his faith during a ceremony in which Nero declared Diana to be the creator of the universe.〔 After Torpes declared himself a Christian, Nero did not want to kill him immediately and instead asked him to renounce his faith. When Torpes refused to do so, Nero had him decapitated.〔 Another variation of the legend states that Torpes left Rome and went to Pisa, but was recognized as a Christian by the local prefect, Satellicus, who had him executed.〔 Torpes’ head was tossed into the Arno (and was later claimed by Pisa).〔 His body was placed in a rotten boat with a cock and a dog, which had been placed there in order to nourish themselves on the saint's body. The boat floated towards Liguria. A holy woman named Celerina (Célèrine) had a premonition in a dream of the arrival of the saint's body, and indeed the boat reached the present-day location of Saint-Tropez, where Celerina lived. The boat landed not far from the present-day sailors' cemetery.〔 The body was untouched by both the cock and the dog. The cock flew away towards the village later named Cogolin after it; the dog headed towards the village later named in its honor Grimaud.〔〔(Villages de Provence Le blog d'andré (dit aussi dédé...) )〕 The local people named their village in honor of him.〔 The theme of the relics being transported across the sea in a small boat is a tale found in the legends of other saints of the region, such as Saint Reparata and Saint Devota. Places on the coasts of Spain and Portugal also declared themselves to be the locations where Torpes' boat had landed.〔 Torpes was venerated in Pisa, Genoa, and Portugal. He became the patron saint of sailors.〔 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「Torpes of Pisa」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
