Fils de parents gitans espagnols, Ceferino Gim\u00e9nez Malla, surnomm\u00e9 \u00ab\u00a0El Pel\u00e9\u00a0\u00bb, est n\u00e9 en Espagne en 1861 \u2013 personne ne sait exactement o\u00f9 ni quand. Ceferino (Z\u00e9phyrin)<\/strong>, comme sa famille, \u00e9tait un Rom (gitan) qui a v\u00e9cu selon les traditions et les lois roms, tant dans son enfance que toute sa vie.<\/p>\n

Enfant, il parcourait les routes de montagne de la r\u00e9gion, vendant les paniers qu\u2019il fabriquait \u00e0 la main. Encore jeune, il \u00e9pousa Teresa Gim\u00e9nez Castro, une Rom de L\u00e9rida au caract\u00e8re bien tremp\u00e9, selon le style romani. Ils s\u2019install\u00e8rent \u00e0 Barbastro. En 1912, il l\u00e9galisa leur union et c\u00e9l\u00e9bra leur mariage selon le rite catholique. D\u00e8s lors, il commen\u00e7a \u00e0 fr\u00e9quenter l\u2019\u00e9glise r\u00e9guli\u00e8rement et devint un chr\u00e9tien mod\u00e8le. Bien qu\u2019il n\u2019e\u00fbt pas d\u2019enfants, il adopta la ni\u00e8ce de sa femme, Pepita, dont les descendants sont encore en vie aujourd\u2019hui.<\/p>\n

\"Ceferino_Gimenez_Malla\"<\/a>\u00ab\u00a0El Pel\u00e9\u00a0\u00bb consacra les plus belles ann\u00e9es de sa vie \u00e0 son m\u00e9tier de marchand de chevaux, achetant et vendant des chevaux lors des foires r\u00e9gionales. Il acquit un statut social et \u00e9conomique \u00e9lev\u00e9, se rendant toujours disponible pour les n\u00e9cessiteux. Injustement accus\u00e9 de vol et emprisonn\u00e9, il fut plus tard d\u00e9clar\u00e9 innocent. Son avocat d\u00e9clara\u00a0: \u00ab\u00a0Pel\u00e9 n\u2019est pas un voleur\u00a0; c\u2019est saint Z\u00e9phyrin, le saint patron de Rome.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n

D\u2019une honn\u00eatet\u00e9 extr\u00eame, il ne trompait personne dans ses transactions. Sa prudence et sa sagesse reconnues lui valaient d\u2019\u00eatre consult\u00e9 par des non-Tsiganes comme par des Tsiganes pour r\u00e9soudre les conflits qui surgissaient parfois entre eux. Pieux et charitable, il aidait chacun par ses aum\u00f4nes. C\u2019\u00e9tait un mod\u00e8le de d\u00e9votion religieuse, assistant \u00e0 la messe quotidienne, communiant fr\u00e9quemment et r\u00e9citant le Rosaire quotidiennement. Bien qu\u2019il f\u00fbt analphab\u00e8te, il se lia d\u2019amiti\u00e9 avec des personnes instruites et adh\u00e9ra \u00e0 plusieurs associations religieuses, dont les Jeudis eucharistiques, l\u2019Adoration nocturne et les Conf\u00e9rences de Saint-Vincent-de-Paul.<\/p>\n

En 1926, il rejoignit le Tiers Ordre franciscain. Il prenait plaisir \u00e0 cat\u00e9chiser les enfants, \u00e0 r\u00e9citer des passages de la Bible, \u00e0 leur enseigner la pri\u00e8re et \u00e0 les sensibiliser au respect de la nature.<\/p>\n

Au d\u00e9but de la guerre civile espagnole, fin juillet 1936, il fut arr\u00eat\u00e9 pour avoir d\u00e9fendu un pr\u00eatre tra\u00een\u00e9 dans les rues de Barbastro et pour avoir port\u00e9 un chapelet dans sa poche. On lui offrit la libert\u00e9 s\u2019il acceptait de cesser de r\u00e9citer le chapelet, mais il choisit de rester en prison et de subir le martyre. Aux premi\u00e8res heures du 8 ao\u00fbt 1936, il fut fusill\u00e9 pr\u00e8s des murs du cimeti\u00e8re de Barbastro. Il mourut le chapelet \u00e0 la main, criant sa foi\u00a0: \u00ab\u00a0Vive le Christ-Roi\u00a0!\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n
