Popular with many people of Latin America, the 15th of May is “The Day of Saint Isidro Labrador”, the saint of farmers. Saint Isidro is the religious image which comes as the intermediary to God to assist in the provision of abundant rainfall. So when the summer is prolonged and the farmer’s see their property in danger, people perform prayers and processions headed by the image of San Isidro. The next time you visit the Region of Cubita (Azuero) during the month of May, don’t forget to ask for direction to the celebrations and processions of San Isidro, the saint of farmers.
