My Actifit Report Card: November 8 2022
Hoy 08 de noviembre celebramos la onomástica de numerosos personajes del santoral. Desde Justo a Gregorio pasando por Mauro, Severino o Macario. Pero también llama la atención un personaje llamado Carpóforo, un nombre poco o nada común.
¿Quién fue Carpóforo? Pues existen pocas referencias, pero parece ser que se trataba de un gladiador del circo romano especializado en combates contra bestias. A este tipo de gladiadores se les llamaba “bestiarios” ya que no luchaban contra otros gladiadores sino únicamente contra animales salvajes previamente entrenados para matar humanos. Al parecer Carpóforo fue el bestiario más famoso del circo romano llegando a matar en un único día hasta 20 fieras salvajes.
Debido a su conversión al cristianismo fue perseguido, torturado y sentenciado a muerte por lapidación en el siglo IV, motivo por el que la iglesia católica le nombró santo.
Today, November 8th, we celebrate the name days of many saints. From Justo to Gregorio through Mauro, Severino or Macario. But a character called Carpophorus, a name that is not very or not at all common, also attracts our attention.
Who was Carpophorus? Well, there are few references, but it seems that he was a gladiator of the Roman circus who specialised in fights against beasts. These gladiators were called "bestiaries" because they did not fight against other gladiators but only against wild animals previously trained to kill humans. It seems that Carpophorus was the most famous bestiarius of the Roman circus, killing up to 20 wild beasts in a single day.
Because of his conversion to Christianity he was persecuted, tortured and sentenced to death by stoning in the 4th century, which is why the Catholic Church made him a saint.
