San Pascual Bailón belonged to a select group of Franciscan monks. He is known as the patron saint of cooks, so they pray to San Pascual Bailón to give their dishes the right flavour.
A brief history of Saint Paschal Bailon
The birth of Saint Paschal was very significant for the Christian world because he was born on the Easter of Pentecost. This is where his name Paschal comes from. His family came from a humble working class background. At the age of 20, he decided to leave home to live with his neighbour and mentor, Martin Garcia.
He later moved back to be the pupil of Don Aparicio Martinez until he entered the Franciscan Order. San Pascual had a clear vision in which he saw Our Lord Jesus at the moment of receiving the consecrated bread and wine. All this took place in the hermitage of the apparitions, in Monte del Cid.
Miracles and works of Saint Paschal Bailon
One of the most recognised miracles of St. Paschal was that he multiplied loaves of bread to feed the poor. His premonitions helped many people in future events. He also helped to heal many sick people during his time in the Franciscan Order. Another notable event was when he sprinkled water with a stone for the homeless.
On some occasions, at the moment of his prayers, his joy was so exuberant that he began to dance. This goes some way to explaining the dancer as an adopted nickname. St. Paschal devoted part of his life to writing and meditation, and was therefore of great help to the monks; in this intellectual aspect he resembles St. Jerome.
The saint died in the monastery of Rosario Villarreal on 17 May 1592. During his funeral, it was noted that he opened his eyes in the middle of Mass to contemplate the image of God. He wrote two great encyclopaedias which were translated into several languages. They were called Opuscules of St Paschal.
