1070 1130 Isidore Maria Miracles Peasant Performed Subsequently Farm Worker
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image, Saint Isidore the Farmworker, also known as San Isidro Labrador, is depicted in traditional Spanish peasant attire, holding a hoe and surrounded by lush greenery. Born in Madrid, Spain, around 1070, Isidore was a humble laborer who dedicated his life to working the land. According to legend, he was known for his piety and devotion to God, often performing his agricultural tasks while reciting prayers. Isidore's wife, Saint Maria Torribla, is also featured in this print, standing beside her husband with a basket of fruits and flowers. Together, they are celebrated as the patron saints of farmers, rural workers, and the environment. Despite living a simple life, Isidore is said to have performed numerous miracles during his time on earth. One of the most famous stories involves him bringing water to a parched field by making his plow dance and furrowing the ground with miraculous ease. Another tale recounts how he brought a dead ox back to life. Isidore's reputation for holiness spread far and wide, and he was canonized by the Catholic Church in 1622. His wife, Maria, was also recognized for her virtues and was canonized in 1626. Their legacy continues to inspire and bring comfort to those who work the land and seek the blessings of nature. This image, from the Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the rich history of Saint Isidore and Maria Torribla, the humble Spanish peasants who became saints. Circa 1130, this photograph captures the essence of their devotion and the enduring connection between faith, labor, and the natural world.
