Today we are celebrating the feast of Saint Isidore or Isidore the farmer. The patron saint of farmers.  For a great part of his life he was employed as a laborer on a farm outside the city.

He died May 15, 1130, and was declared a saint in 1622, with Saints Ignatius of Loyola, Francis Xavier, Teresa of Avila, and Philip Neri. Together, the group is known in Spain as “the five saints.”
