San Pedro Regalado-Valladolid(Spain) - Statues of Religious Figures on Waymarking.com

Pedro Regalado (Valladolid, 1390 - La Aguilera, March 30, 1456), is a Spanish saint, patron saint of the city of Valladolid and its diocese since 1746. His feast is celebrated on May 13.
Son of Pedro Regalado and María de la Costanilla, a couple of Judeoconversos, was born in Valladolid, in the street of Platería. In 1403 he entered the convent of San Francisco, a few meters from his birthplace.
When he was only fifteen years old, he already accompanied Fray Pedro de Villacreces, a fervent Franciscan who, in addition to founding the monastery of La Salceda in Tendilla, imposed strict observance of the rule, founding the group of Villacrecians. In one of them, they arrived at La Aguilera (Burgos) with the intention of founding a new convent to renew the Franciscan Order.
In La Aguilera, San Pedro Regalado will dedicate itself to the most diverse tasks, highlighting the care of the poor. He was ordained a priest at the age of twenty-two and, at the age of twenty-five, accompanied Fray Pedro de Villacreces again, this time to El Abrojo (Laguna de Duero, in the province of Valladolid) to found another convent, where due to his reputation as a saint he was frequently consulted by members of the nobility.
He is known for having maintained an almost continuous silence by spending most of the nights in prayer and had an extraordinary gratitude: he often rose over the earth with flames that radiated his body and possessed the agility and ease of the glorified bodies . Strangest of all, it was also established that he often found himself at the same time in distant monasteries, doing business for the Order.
It is also known a miraculous fact of his life collected in the process of canonization and that offers the iconographic elements of Pedro Regalado. At dawn on March 25, 1450, the feast of the Annunciation of the Virgin Mary, there is the friar Pedro praying matines, so absorbed in the contemplation inside the convent of El Abrojo; he feels the desire to honor Mary in the convent of La Aguilera, consecrated by him to the Virgin by virtue of that invocation; it is transported by air in the eighty kilometers that separate the houses and is returned to El Abrojo once its wish has been fulfilled.
After the death of Fray Pedro de Villacreces, he was appointed prelate of the reformed monasteries of strict observance in La Aguilera (Domus Dei) and El Abrojo (Scala Coeli).
His reputation for sanctity was growing rapidly, coming to be attributed episodes of bilocation and spread even after his death, both among the people and among the powerful classes, visiting his grave in the Sanctuary of Aguilera, Queen Isabella the Catholic.
Both in life and afterwards numerous miracles have been attributed to him, of them canonized in 1746 by Benedict XIV.
