] Saint Aemilian (in Latin ''Emilianus'' or ''Aemilianus'') is an Iberic saint, widely revered throughout Spain, who lived during the age of Visigothic rule. ==Life== Controversy has surrounded his place of birth, described as Vergegio in his ''Vita'', which is identified with Berceo in La Rioja, close to the monastery he founded, which bears his name and conserves his relics. The much-contested region of La Rioja belonged at times to Aragon, which thus claims him as a native son. According to his ''Vita'', written by Braulius, bishop of Caesaraugusta (modern Zaragoza) roughly a hundred years after the saint's death, Emilianus was a shepherd who had a religious experience, perhaps around the age of twenty, which led him to decide to dedicate himself to God's service. He sought out an experienced hermit in Bilibio,〔"Bilibio, también conocido como Haro la Vieja, fue una aldea situada en la falda norte de los Riscos de Bilibio, donde el río Ebro entra en La Rioja por el lugar de Las Conchas, municipio de Haro." ((Paloma Torrijos, "Historia y Genealogìa" ))〕 Felix (more usually known by the Spanish form of his common name, ''San Felices''), where Emilianus lived for a number of years. After leaving his teacher, Emilianus lived as a hermit (perhaps even a gyrovagus) in the mountains or on the historic Roman road which became the Camino de Santiago. Didymus the Bishop of Tarazona ordained Emilianus as priest. However, Emilianus aroused the opposition of his fellow priests because of his heavy distribution of alms or reputation for holiness or miracleworking. Emilianus returned to the wilderness, and a small community of disciples gathered around his cell. He died at a venerable age, and was buried in his cell. 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「Emilian of Cogolla」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
