THE THREE SAINTS

When I was young, my grandmother, who was a devoted catholic, told us that for many times, in the evening, the image of St. Michael (San Miguel), the Archangel would disappear from his chapel only to be seen moving just like any human beings, with another patron saint. Santiago.

Both images rode in a horse.  She said that her old folks believed that the two (San Miguel and Santiago) would roam around the town with another patron saint, San Esteban.

Their purpose was unknown but the religious believers said that they were on guard of their respective communities.

The old folks were heard that sometimes, San Miguel and Santiago would be seen with another patron saint, a woman, the Carmelite, whose image was taken care of by a family.


San Miguel, the Archangel was known to be the leader of the three.
