Biography
Blessed Antonio Sáez De Ibarra López, born as Ruperto on 25 March 1914 in Hijona, Alava, Spain, was a devoted Franciscan Friar Minor postulant. At the age of one day, he was baptized and would later take the name Antonio upon entering the novitiate on 17 January 1931. However, his novitiate was tragically interrupted by the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War, which saw his convent being burned.
