裴特若出生于希腊,职业为军人。有一次,在同阿拉伯人作战时,裴特若被俘虏了,被铁链捆绑,被投入到监狱中。裴特若在幼发拉底河畔的萨马拉城被关押了很长时间,他停地向上帝祷告,希望上帝能够使他从监狱中获得自由,并将他带到旷野中,在那里他希望能够使自己潜心修行。上帝的接收者圣西麦翁和圣尼科拉在监狱中向他显现,用手中的杖碰了捆绑他的铁链,铁链如同蜡一样溶化了,裴特若突然发现自己在城外的田野里。裴特若立即前往罗马,在圣裴特若的陵墓前接受教宗为他行的剪发礼,成了一名修士。在这之后,裴特若乘船前往东方。全圣诞神女同圣尼科拉在梦中向裴特若显现,诞神女对圣尼科拉说,她已经选定圣山阿托斯为裴特若修行的地方。到当时为止,裴特若从来没有听说过圣山阿托斯。由此,裴特若乘船来到圣山,上岸后,裴特若居住在一个山洞中,在那里开始了艰难的修行生活长达53年的时间,期间同饥饿、炎热、寒冷作斗争,其中大部分是同魔鬼的势力进行斗争,直到在上帝的帮助下战胜所有这一切为止。在裴特若忍受了第一次诱惑,并成功地在上帝面前通过了第一次艰难的考验之后,上帝派来天使每40天为他带来面包。有几次,诱惑人的魔鬼装扮成明亮的天使的样子出现在裴特若面前,但是裴特若划了十字,并以全圣诞神女之名驱逐了魔鬼。在裴特若离世一年前,他被阿托斯附近的一个寻鹿人发现,并从这位圣人的口中得知了他的生活。裴特若于公元734年去世。他的圣髑被转移到马其顿。 If you like our project and you are satisfied with our work and effort, please consider making a donation that would help us to survive on the Internet and in further development of the project.
