see St. Isidore the Farmer
Saint Isidore was a devout laborer in Spain sent off as a boy to plow the fields of a prosperous farmer, for whom he was a worker his whole life. Accounts of miraculous events, sometimes of great charm, accompany his life, involving the angels seen helping him and the food that miraculously multiplied when he fed the poor, and involving the miracles that occurred after his death. An important saint for the Spanish, he is revered in many countries today, and is the patron of farmers and agricultural workers.
