For its part, the tradition says that Santa Florentina was abbess over forty convents. Born in Seville in 556. He was the youngest of four brothers, all of whom were saints and three of them bishops.

Isidore was the wiser bishop of his time in Spain . He had the best library in the nation. He wrote several books that became famous and were widely read for centuries as eg. The Etymologies, which may be called the first dictionary that was done in Europe. He also wrote The History of the Visigoths and biographies of famous men.
San Isidoro is like a bridge between ancient times and is just beginning the Middle Ages. His influence was huge throughout Europe and very special in Spain, and his example has led many to devote their free time to study and good reading. was the leading figure in the Council of Toledo (year 633) which came very important laws for the whole Church of Spain, which contributed very strongly to maintain strong religiosity in the country.

San Ildefonso is said that "ease of speech was so admirable in San Isidoro, the crowds came from everywhere to listen and all were amazed at his wisdom and the great good that got to hear his teaching.
His love for the poor was immense, as alms were so generous, his palace was seen continuously visited by people in need who came to seek and receive aid. Of all the sciences the most liked and most recommended was to study the Holy Bible, and wrote some comments about each of the books of the S. Bible.

Worship.
In the city of Cartagena, as elsewhere in the diocese of Cartagena, the four saints are the object of special devotion.
The image of the four holy is preferred instead of the main facade of the Cathedral of Murcia, seat of the diocese of Cartagena.
In 1755 the City of Cartagena Murcia commissioned the great sculptor Francisco Salzillo the size of four figures representing the four holy brethren. The size variation placed in a chapel of the old Cathedral of Cartagena and the old medieval city patron saint, the Virgen del Rosell. These four images are considered a masterpiece of English baroque sculpture.
Unlike most ecclesiastical heritage of the city of Cartagena which disappeared during the English civil war, thankfully, five sizes could be saved from the burning of convents and churches in 1936 and is now kept at the altar Church of Santa Maria de Gracia.

we do not corrupt the meaning of persons or positions.
On the contrary, effectively unite us to Thee,
only with the gift of your grace,

and nothing will deviate from the truth.
And, as we gather in Your Name, and also keep all
justice tempered by mercy

and in the future, acting rightly,
get eternal rewards.
Amen.
