Moreover, in the current year, it isn’t just the annual celebration taking place. It’s, more importantly, the fourth centennial of the Madrileño saint’s canonization (1622-2022), too. The Holy See has declared the Holy Year of San Isidro (Año Santo de San Isidro) to be celebrated from 15 May 2022 to 15 May 2023.
