This Saint Isidore the Farmer prayer candle honors the humble farm worker of Madrid, shown with his wife Maria de la Cabeza. It is a heartfelt Catholic gift for farmers, gardeners, and anyone who works the land.
About Saint Isidore. Isidore was a farm laborer in medieval Madrid, traditionally said to have died on May 15, 1130. His wife was Maria Torribia, honored in Spain as Maria de la Cabeza. Pope Paul V beatified Isidore in 1619, and Pope Gregory XV canonized him on March 12, 1622, with Ignatius of Loyola, Francis Xavier, Teresa of Avila, and Philip Neri.
He is the patron of farmers and agricultural workers, and of the city of Madrid. In 1947 he was named patron of farmers in the United States. Tradition. Popular accounts say angels helped plow his fields while he prayed. These are legends of devotion and not documented history.
Choose this candle for a farmer or rancher, a gardener, a harvest or blessing of the fields, a housewarming for a rural home, or a married couple.
