Amador of Portugal Amador of Portugal Saint Amador of Portugal (), whose feast day is celebrated on 27 March, was a hermit in Portugal. Several churches in the diocese of Guarda and elsewhere in Portugal are dedicated to him. Amador was born in Monsanto on the edge of the Bishopric of Guarda. He retired to the hermitage of São Pedro Vir-on-Corces, where he lived for many years. One day he found an abandoned newborn, whom he raised and educated, and who also became a hermit and priest in the same place. Over time, the cave where they lived was converted into a chapel.
