Blessed Zechariah

Blessed Zechariah, also known as Zaccaria, was a Franciscan friar who dedicated his life to spreading the teachings of Christianity. He was accepted into the Franciscan Order in Rome, Italy, by Saint Francis of Assisi himself. Endowed with a deep faith and a fervent desire to bring the Gospel to those who had not yet heard it, Blessed Zechariah was sent to Spain by Saint Francis to preach to the Moors.
