Pilgrim to the Holy Land. On his way home a storm shipwrecked him in Taranto,
Italy. As he recovered, his holiness was such that he was chosen by the people
to be their bishop. He lived the rest of his life in the region, teaching and
caring for his parishioners. There are towns in Sicily and southern Italy named
for him.1

“The great Monarch will be in war till he he is 40 years of age: a King of the House of Lilies, he will assemble great armies and expel tyrants from his empire. He will conquer England and other island empires. Greece he will invade and be made king thereof. Clochis, Cyprus, the Turks and Barbarians he will subdue and have all men worship the crucifed one. He will at length lay down his crown in Jerusalem….” 1
“He will conquer the middle East…” 2
