Beato Leopoldo de Alpandeire (24 de junio de 1864, Alpandeire, Málaga - 9 de febrero de 1956, Granada), fue un fraile capuchino que goza de gran devoción entre los católicos andaluces. Su verdadero nombre fue Francisco Tomás de San Juan Bautista Márquez Sánchez. Fue nombrado Beato por la Iglesia Católica el12 de septiembre de 2010.
La mayor parte de su vida fue fraile limosnero por las calles de Granada, ciudad en la que era conocido por su generosidad hacia los necesitados. Su disposición a ofrecer consejo y comprensión, han hecho que la devoción a este fraile se haya extendido considerablemente y que sea frecuente encontrar una estampa con su imagen en las casas andaluzas.
Biografía
Primeros años
Nació el 24 de junio de 1864 en la pequeña localidad de Alpandeire, pueblo que en el año 2008 contaba con una población de 278 habitantes y está situado en la comarca montañosa de la Serranía de Ronda, provincia de Málaga (España).
Fue el mayor de cuatro hermanos, tres varones, uno de los cuales murió joven mientras realizaba el servicio militar en la guerra de Cuba, y una mujer. La familia aunque de condición modesta, poseía tierras dedicadas al cultivo de cereales y almendros, así como algún ganado caprino. Ellos mismos cultivaban el terreno y realizaban las faenas agrícolas, siendo este trabajo su actividad principal.
Su instrucción escolar consistió únicamente en los estudios primarios que siguió sin demostrar capacidades especiales en la escuela local. Desde pequeño mostró inclinación hacia la religión, pues se sabe que a los diez años protagonizó un incidente que tuvo mucha repercusión entre sus convecinos.
Mientras se encontraba en el campo, al cuidado de un rebaño de cabras junto con otros niños, el cielo comenzó a nublarse amenazando tormenta. Surgieron varias ideas sobre la actitud que debían tomar. El futuro Fray Leopoldo propuso refugiarse en una peña y rezar el rosario para solicitar la protección de la Virgen, otro de los pequeños no estaba de acuerdo y consideró preferible dirigirse hacia el pueblo lo antes posible. Finalmente todos se encaminaron hacia Alpandeire sin implorar la protección de la Virgen, pero la marcha se vio interrumpida por un rayo que fulminó al joven que había propuesto el apresurado retorno, resultando muerto. Es posible que este suceso del que se habló largamente, influyera en su futura decisión de hacerse fraile.1
Toda su infancia y juventud transcurrio en Alpandeire dedicado a faenas agrícolas, salvo el periodo de servicio militar (1887-1888) que realizó en el Regimiento de Infantería Pavía en Málaga.
Ingreso en la Orden Capuchina
Decidió dedicarse a la vida religiosa después de haber oído predicar a dos capuchinos en la ciudad de Ronda, con motivo de la beatificación de Diego José de Cádiz en 1894. Tras varios intentos que resultaron fallidos, ingresó en 1899 en calidad de postulante en el convento que poseía la orden capuchina en Sevilla. En 1900 emitió sus votos y recibió como nombre religioso el de Fray Leopoldo de Alpandeire. Tras destinos sucesivos a Antequera, Granada y de nuevo Sevilla, el 21 de febrero de 1914 fue trasladado definitivamente al convento de Granada, donde residió durante 42 años.
Su vida en Granada
Permaneció de forma ininterrumpida en esta ciudad entre 1914 y 1956. La mayor parte del tiempo desempeñó la función de fraile limosnero, lo cual le obligaba a recorrer la ciudad a pie y entrar en numerosas viviendas solicitando donativos.
Poco a poco su figura fue haciéndose popular, numerosas personas solicitaban su consejo o intermediación y se le empezó a conocer como "el humilde limosnero de las tres Ave Marías", porque eran estas las oraciones que dedicaba a quienes le pedían su bendición. Murió el 9 de febrero de 1956.

Our Daily Challenge - Worn - 8/5/12
Efforts to bring KCSM power up to union standards in Canada are becoming subtly evident as time goes on. KCSM 4570 survived a lucky roll of the dice avoiding wye in Detroit after trailing on 135.
The Galt Sub changes bearing many times as it slopes out of the escarpment by Milton varying by up to 80 degrees in the process. The stretch along here protected by searchlights at Mississauga is bearing a harsh 40 degrees on the compass, facing more north than east. Even in the summer as early as 9am here when the sun is more favourable on the north, the cab is soon about to be in its own shadow.
For the plane enthusiasts here: Air Canada flight 403 is that blurred 737 in 4570's exhaust making a line up for Runway 06L into YYZ. A visual hint of Canada in frame!

Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. All comments and Faves are very much appreciated
Found in an old sleepy outback town that hardly anyone stops to visit. I did think of the perfect word to descibe this fence, I will leave that to the imagination. HFF
It is said that for every hundred feet you ascend in altitude, you travel one degree of latitude further north meteorolgically. Thus, someone living on the uplands of southern England ...Dartmoor say... has the same climate as someone living at sea level in Inverness. I have a similar theory. Fray's Law states that for every 100 miles you travel away from London, you go back five years in time. It's obvious really; fashionable ideas take a while to reach out into the provinces. It's not an infallible law and large provincial cities are often not far behind the capital. Motorways and fast transport links tend to spread metropolitan notions to places in their hinterland. But by and large it is true, and sun dried tomatoes reach Braintree while Llanelli is still coming to terms with processed peas.
For any person of fastidious tastes the 1970s were a time of hardship and bereavement. Let us take one tiny example: bus liveries. Well into the 1960s buses were painted in dignified and noble colours ...rich dark reds predominated in the towns, whilst in the country the handsome green of the Tilling group was king. Cream bands, lined with black, were used as a foil. The "fleetname" of the operator was applied in seemly gilt letters, and heraldic emblazonry brought distinction to the streets of those places where bus services were provided by the municipality.
Then the 1970s arrived. Out went seemliness and restraint. In came "brighter" ...i.e. garish... colours in hideous mis-matches. Cardiff went orange, Newcastle yellow and Sheffield an unprepossessing brown, like over-milked tea. The Tilling and BET groups were merged as the National Bus Company (not even "Omnibus"!) and a particularly uninspired livery was imposed, in either its red or green variants, everywhere from Berwick-on-Tweed to Penzance.
But remember Fray's Law. The new fashion in liveries took ten years to reach Scotland where, especially in the paint shops of the Scottish Bus Group, a palette of dignified hues continued in use. In a further proof of Fray's Law, Scottish bus operators tended to order well-proven models right up to the end of their production life, so that they had more old-fashioned fleets than modernity-crazed operators in the south.
Glasgow, when I first went there in 1976, had an almost post-war bleakness and decrepitude which I found absolutely delightful ...just like going back to English cities of the 1950s. Fray's Law again! In the photograph we see a Bristol FSF Lodekka in the colours of the Central SMT company emerging from Glasgow's wonderfully seedy Dundas Street Bus Station on a gloomy autumn afternoon, with its tungsten-bulb interior lights glimmering dimly. The colour scheme was at least ten years out of date by English standards. Monday 18th October 1976.
All things considered, I suppose I'd have to say that the KSW, preferably Gardner-engined, was my favourite bus. I'd liked them as a boy and especially enjoyed the view forward from the front, lower-deck, nearside seat. I learned what the controls did by watching the driver from the seat behind his cab. I liked the long, quivering handbrake lever, with its double kink at the bottom, where it had to clear the wheel-arch. Many KSWs were still in service when I joined Bristol Omnibus Co. as a conductor in 1970. To conduct, I much preferred them to the LD ...also still around in large numbers. When the time came to train for driving I learned partly on KSWs, but the last were being withdrawn just as I passed my test and I never drove one in service. C8429 was snapped in Lewin's Mead, a minute or so after setting out from the Centre on the 73, late in the afternoon on Tuesday 9th December 1975. It was withdrawn 31st March 1976, went to the dealer H Cowley and was scrapped at Carlton, Barnsley, in the July.
