	CATHOLIC TRADITION: ST. ANTHONY OF PADUA
		Not far from the Monastery of Santa Cruz, at Olivares, stood the Franciscan Abbey of the Olives.
		The Martyrdom of the friars, the transportation of their relics to Portugal, and the shrine prepared for them at Santa Cruz, the knowledge he had gained of the origin and development of the Franciscan Order, inspired Fernando with a longing to become himself a follower of St. Francis.
		Therefore when the Brother Questor, whose duty it was to ask alms for the needs of the Convent at Olivares, came to Santa Cruz, Fernando talked long and earnestly with him concerning the rule of his Order and the wonderful founder thereof.

	Torquemada (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		The nephew of a noted Dominican cardinal and theologian, Juan de Torquemada, the young Torquemada joined the Dominicans and in 1452 became prior of the monastery of Santa Cruz at Segovia, an office that he held for 22 years.
		In his private life Torquemada seems to have been pious and austere, but his official career as inquisitor was marked by a harsh intransigence, which nevertheless was generally supported by public opinion, at least in the early years.
		Within his own order he was influential as visitator of the reformed Dominican priories of Aragon (1481–88), and his interest in the arts is evidenced in the monastery of St. Thomas at Ávila, where he died.

		The friars would seek alms from the monastery of Santa Cruz, and ‘Although they were not learned men, they taught the substance of the Scriptures with their actions.’
