May 15, 2010, Happy fiesta diha sa New Corella Davao. Mamista na pud diha ang mga taga Corella Bohol.
San Isidro is the patron saint of good harvest, so the
celebration of his feast day, especially in the town of New Corella, brings
us closer to the earth and all its grains, crops and fruits.
Although I’ve never been to Corella during the fiesta on May 15, I heard
every house was festooned with varieties of food and delicious recipes.
Election, and few days before, I am sure many people drove up to New Corella
to partake of the bounty of the harvest and the food every family
prepared for that day.
In the history of San Isidro Labrador, it is said that while he was at prayer in
the middle of the day, the angels would do his work in the fields. His landlord
saw this, so San Isidro was not fired from his job.
On his way to work, San Isidro would stop to feed the birds with his grain of
corn. Although he puts out as much corn as possible, his sack weighed the
same, as if nothing was taken out of it. The story of San Isidro, who is called
St. Isidore in English, inspires us to be thankful for every little blessing that
comes, especially during these times.
