Berthold of Calabria

St. Berthold of Calabria (* in Solignac (Haute -Vienne ) at Limoges; † around 1195 on Mount Carmel ) is regarded by some as the founder of the Carmelites, but who accepted their religious rules until after his death.

A vision in which Jesus Christ led him the bad deeds of the Christian soldiers in front of eyes should have prompted him to 1155 to withdraw (near Haifa) on Mount Carmel. Soon a small community than their Upper he was mentioned in 1185 was born. 1214, after his death, the Rule of the Order of Albert, the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem was confirmed. In 1226, Pope Honorius III. these rules.

Being a Catholic feast day is March 29.
