Life

Peregrinus grew up as the son of wealthy parents. He took part in the uprising against the papal state regime. In 1283 he is said to have slapped Philip Benitius , one of the founders of the Servite Order . As a penance, he entered the Servite Order in Siena , later he worked as a pastor in Forlì. According to tradition, at the age of 60 he was diagnosed with a vein disease and a bone tumor, but was healed through a prayer. His body rests in the Servite Church in Forlì. He is considered the most venerated saint of the Servite order.

He was beatified in 1609 and on December 27, 1726 by Pope Benedict XIII. canonized . His attributes are book and crucifix . Its festival is celebrated annually on May 4th (before the church calendar reform on May 1st).

Adoration

In the German-speaking area, the Peregrini worship first took its way from the Servite Monastery of Innsbruck to Vienna ( Peregrini Chapel of the Rossau parish ) and from there to many other places (e.g. Peregrin picture from 1817 in Rattenberg; Peregrin votive picture 1851 in Mariazell ; End of the 18th century Peregrin shrine at the Bürgerspitalkirche Krems; 1773: Peregrini altar designed by Mölk in the parish church of Maria Langegg; 1898 side altar sheet of the parish church Maria im Elend; the Peregrini chapel in Maria Waldrast, consecrated in 2000).

In Vienna, not far from the Peregrini Chapel in the 9th district, the Peregringasse was named after him.
