4Real Forums: patron saint of Spain?

Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

We are coloring maps of Spain today because my husband's parents are traveling there tomorrow for a vacation. We are praying for their safe journey and travels while there, and we'd like to add prayers to Spain's patron saint ... but I can't remember who that saint is! Can someone enlighten me, please?

Patron Saints Index lists a few:

James the Greater
John of Avila
Our Lady of Guadalupe of Estremadura
Our Lady of Montserrat
Our Lady of Ransom
Our Lady of the Pillar of Saragossa
Teresa of Avila

St. James, or Santiago, is the most popular and traditional saint. Here is a thread on St. James. Your map should include Santiago De Compostela.

Jenn, thank you very much for the information. I had a feeling you would know the answer,

I just hope I didn't put you to trouble to find it for me.

Never any trouble...I love looking things up. But this question I had at my fingertips, so it didn't take too much time!

Thanks, Maria! Looks like we have a few to choose from! They fly over today, so we will get started this morning.
