Gregorio López was initially a court page to King Philip II. Before moving to Mexico City and becoming a hermit there in 1562, he had lived as a hermit in Navarre. He gained a reputation as a holy man and was much sought out, prompting him to withdraw to the small village of Sana Fe where he lived out his remainging days in solitude. He was beatified though efforts to canonize him have been ongoing since 1620 . His memorial day is July 20th.
