Born in Italy as Giovanni María Agostini-Justiniani, he studied for the priesthood but stopped short of taking his vows. After leaving Europe, he spent much of his life wandering South and North America dispensing religious visions and herbal healing. In Las Vegas, NM, where he lived for some time, local Penitente brothers calling themselves La Sociedad del Ermitaño still revere him by making rosaries out of native plants at Easter. His gravestone in Mesilla reads, ?John Mary Justiniani, Hermit of the Old and New World. He died the 17th of April, 1869, at 69 years and 49 years a hermit.?
