'''Saint Constabilis''' ({{lang-it|San Constabile, San Costabile}}) (c. [[1070]]–[[1124]]) was an [[Italy|Italian]] [[abbot]] and [[saint]]. He was abbot of [[La Trinità della Cava]], located at [[Cava de' Tirreni]], from 1122 to 1124. |
|||
He was born around 1070 at [[Tresino]] in [[Lucania]] to the noble Genticore family. At the age of seven, he was entrusted to the care of abbot of Cava, [[Leo I of Cava|Leo I]]. Constabilis then became a [[monk]] at the abbey. He followed the [[Benedictine Rule]] zealously and was entrusted by the abbot to manage important negotiations and transactions on behalf of the abbey. On [[January 10]], [[1118]], he was promoted by abbot [[Peter of Pappacarbone]] to the position of [[coadjutor]]. He subsequently succeeded Peter as abbot after the latter's death on [[March 4]], [[1122]]. |
|||
Constabilis is venerated as the [[patron saint]] of [[Castellabate]], for the reason that he founded the town. He started construction on the Angel's Castle on [[10 October]] [[1123]], which afterwards became entitled to him. His title gave the village its present name: ''Castrum Abbatis'', the "castle of the abbot." |
|||
He cared for the general and individual needs of the monks without resorting to authoritarian tactics. He died at the agent of fifty-three and was buried in the church overhanging the [[grotto]] of Arsicia that had been used by the founder of the abbey, [[Alferius|Saint Alferius]]. |
|||
Constabilis died on [[17 February]] [[1124]]. He was succeeded by Simeon. |
|||
==Veneration== |
|||
After his death, he is said to have appeared to his successors and was venerated as a protector of the ships belonging to this abbey. |
|||
The first four abbots of Cava were officially recognized as saints on [[December 21]], [[1893]] by [[Pope Leo XIII]]. Veneration for Constabilis had already existed; however, this had now been officially approved.<ref>[http://www.santiebeati.it/dettaglio/91125 San Constabile (Costabile)<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> The first four abbots are Saint Alferius (Alferio), the founder and first abbot (1050); Leo I (1050-79); Peter of Pappacarbone (1079-1123); and Constabilis. |
