St. Isidores (Mar 03)

St. Isidors: So called after the Patron Saint of Farming. He was born in the 11th century in Spain of poor parents. His devotion to prayer often made him late for his work as a Farm Labourer. On one occasion he was taking grain to be milled and came across some hungry birds he stopped and gave them half a sack of grain but upon reaching the mill, the remainder of the bag produced twice the usual amount of flour.
