Accused by his fellow field workers of shirking his duties by attending daily Mass. When his master came to scold him, he found angels manning Isidore's plow. His wife, Maria de la Cabeza, is also canonized. Incorruptible.
A couple of years back, I made the mistake of taking some garbanzo beans to a weekday Mass on the feast of St. Isidore, with the intention of having them blessed by the priest before interring them in the fertile Covington soil. Unfortunately, I had read things wrongly, and it turned out that it was April 4, which is actually the feast of St. Isidore of Seville, the patron saint of the internet. Nothing ever came of my pitiful garbanzo crop that year.
