Gregor received a thorough education and was appointed prefect by Emperor Justin the Younger, although Gregor was only 34 years old at the time. However, a year later &#8211; after his father&#8217;s death &#8211; he left his career as a prefect and founded a Benedictine monastery in his own house. He accepted their religious robes. In addition, he also founded six other monasteries in Sicily. During the pontificate of Pope Pelagius II. (579-590) became a deacon and papal envoy in Constantinople. After the death of Pelagius, he was unanimously elected pope.<\/span><\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Many turbulent events marked his pontificate. It was then that the migration of people took place. Thanks to Gregor, it was possible to Christianize the Visigoths in Spain. The Arian Lombards, Gauls, and Anglo-Saxons also returned to the <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">true<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> doctrine. During the plague in Rome, he performed a penitential devotion, after which the destruction was averted. He reformed the liturgy, especially liturgical singing. Until now, it has been used in the so-called religious services. The Gregorian chant is named after him and comes from his time. Also, the custom of celebrating the Gregorian Mass for the dead comes from this period. He wrote many works. He belongs to the four Western Church Fathers. History gave him the epithet Great, but he used the title &#8220;servus servorum Dei&#8221; (servant of God&#8217;s servants).<\/span><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Saint Feast:\u00a0September 3\u00a0 (the day of his episcopal ordination) * around 540 Rome + March 12, 604\u00a0 Pontificate:\u00a0590 \u2013 604 Meaning of the name: watchful, awake (from Gr.)
