Saint Isidore the Farmer Saint Isidore lived in Spain. He and his wife, Saint Maria de la Cabeza, lived on a rich man’s farm. Isidore worked for this man his whole life. He took care of the man’s land with love. Isidore prayed while he worked. Saint Isidore is the patron saint of farmers, farm animals, and farming communities. He is also the patron saint of picnics! We celebrate his feast day on May 15. In many places farm animals and crops are blessed on Saint Isidore’s feast day.
