April 4 - Feast of St. Isidore of Seville and day webmasters





4 April 1378 marks the anniversary of the death of St. Isidore of Seville. Why do we write about it? Because in 2003, Pope John Paul II named Isidore the patron of the Internet and computer users. At such an honorable role by modern standards, this venerable husband was chosen for the fact that during his lifetime he was one of the most educated men of his time. In addition, Isidore of Seville wrote one of the first in the world encyclopedias: 20-volume "The etymology» (Etymologiae). So linguists may also consider this saint "his».
