Saint-Gilles

Japanese: サン・ジル(英語表記)Saint‐Gilles
Saint-Gilles
A town in the Gard department in the south of France, facing the canal that connects the lower Rhône River with Sète on the Mediterranean coast. Population: about 7,000. It developed as a temple town for the monastery of the same name, and once attracted pilgrims from far and near. Little is known for certain about the monastery's founder, Saint Gilles (Aegidius). He is said to have been born in Greece in the 8th or 9th century. One day, he had a strong desire to leave his belongings behind, and set out on the Mediterranean in a small boat, where he was washed ashore here. He lived with deer in the mountains, performing ascetic practices, and performed many miracles.

フランス南部,ガール県の町。ローヌ川下流と地中海岸セートを結ぶ運河に臨む。人口約7000。同名の修道院の門前町として発達し,一時遠近から巡礼を集めた。修道院の設立者,聖ジル(アエギディウス)について確実なことはほとんど知られていない。8~9世紀にギリシアに生まれたという。ある日,発心して家財を捨て,小舟に身を託して地中海に出たところ,この地に漂着した。山中で鹿とともに起居して苦行を続け,多くの奇跡を現した。
