Feast of Saint Isidore the Laborer

The Feast of Saint Isidore the Worker, known in Spanish as Fiestas de San Isidro Labrador, is an annual celebration honoring Saint Isidore the Laborer (c. 1070 – May 15, 1130), the patron saint of farmers, peasants, rural communities, and the city of Madrid, Spain. Observed primarily on May 15, his liturgical feast day, the festivities combine religious devotion with cultural traditions, reflecting Isidore's legacy as a humble farmworker renowned for his piety and miracles. The feast is celebrated in regions with historical Spanish influence, starting from Madrid, and spreading to the historical Spanish Empire including parts of the Philippines, and Corsica, each adapting the observance to local customs.
