St. Benedict ("The Moor") (1526 – April 4, 1589) was born of Christopher and Diana Manasseri, Africans who were taken to San Fratello (also known as San Fradello or San Philadelphio), Diocese of Messina, Sicily as slaves and later were converted to Christianity. Benedict was not a Moor, but the Italian "il Moro" for "the Black" has been misinterpreted as referring to a Moorish heritage. Benedict was also called from his origin Æthiops or Niger.

Benedict's parents were granted freedom of their son at the age of 18, in what is cited as being due to their "loyal service." Benedict continued to work along side his family for meager wages and was quick to give what he had earned to those more needy and to the sick. When he was 21 years old, he gave up all of his earthly possessions and joined local hermits in Montepellegrino. In 1564, when Pope Pius IV disbanded the orders of hermits, Benedict moved to Palermo to the Franciscan Friary of Saint Mary. Benedict started at the friary as a cook, but was soon elected guardian and then novice master - despite being completely illiterate. Benedict was widely respected for his deep, intuitive understanding of theology and scripture; was often sought after for counseling. He died at the age of 63 and it is claimed on the very day and hour he predicted.
