Saint Fructus, The Bird Lover
Saint Fructus was born in Visigoth Segovia in 642 to a well-to-do family. After receiving a large inheritance following their parents’ death, he persuaded his siblings to give it all up and live in poverty, all in a bid to devote himself to a life of retreat and prayer in caves and small hermitages. In this way he followed the Lord's instruction to the letter: "If you want to be perfect, sell what you have, give it to the poor and then follow me". And this he did without a second thought. It is not known for sure why he was given the nickname "bird lover". According to a legend, he made little birds come out from the wounds of a devotee. Some say that he tamed vultures, while the rest maintain that, well, he just liked birds.
