Room 14 - S. Frutuoso
S. Frutuoso de Braga (deceased on April 16 of 665) was a monk and a gothic
bishop of the VII century, worshiped like a saint.
The story of his life comes to us via St. Valerius, one of his disciples, a copyist and writer monk, who wrote it immediately after his death. In the work "Vita Sancti Fructuosi", the aspects of the monastic life of the biographer are almost exclusively emphasized, omitting his action as bishop and his intervention in the civil and religious life of the Visigothic Kingdom, which will certainly have had great importance in the bosom of the Hispanic Goths.
The Archbishop of Compostela, Diego GelmÃrez, in 1102, was responsible for the body transfer from Braga to Santiago, where he was solemnly buried in the cathedral's crypt. The cathedral of Compostela celebrates the liturgical solemnity of the translation on 16 December, nowadays the saint can be venerated in the Relic Chapel.
The importance of Frutuoso to understand the spirituality of Visigothic Hispania is fundamental.
