St. ISIDORE OF MADRID
Christian Saint
Also known as Isidore The Farmer, Isidore The Laborer, San Isidro Labrador
Patron Saint of Madrid, Farmers and Rural Farming Villages
Humble plowman (or ploughman if you prefer) and Patron of Madrid.
He got up early for mass — he plowed — he shared his plowman’s lunch with the poor — he plowed — he married — he plowed — he had a son — he plowed — his son died — he plowed.
After the loss of his son, he and his wife devoted themselves to holy things. In between, he plowed.
Then she died — he plowed and carried on praying.
Eventually he died too, probably from plowing-related exhaustion. Since then there seems to have been a bountiful reaping of posthumous miracles.
