"The Apostle Santiago, patron saint of Spain and evangelizer of the north of the Iberian Peninsula In the Bible he is usually referred to under the name of Jacobo, a term that passed into Latin as Iacobus and derived in names such as Iago, Tiago and Santiago (sanctus Iacobus) . Santiago de Zebedeo or Santiago el Mayor was one of the first disciples to shed his blood and die for Jesus. Member of a family of fishermen, brother of Juan Evangelista -both nicknamed Boanerges ('Children of Thunder'), for their impulsive temperaments- and one of the three disciples closest to Jesus Christ, the apostle Santiago was not only present in two of the most important moments in the life of the Christian Messiah - the transfiguration on Mount Tabor and the prayer in the Garden of Olives - but he was also part of the restricted group that witnessed his last miracle, his resurrection appearance on the banks of the river. lake of Tiberias. After the death of Christ, Santiago, passionate and impetuous, was part of the initial group of the primitive Church of Jerusalem and, in his evangelizing work, he was awarded, according to medieval traditions, the Spanish peninsular territory, specifically the northwest region, known then as Gallaecia. Some theories suggest that the current patron of Spain reached the northern lands by the uninhabited coast of Portugal. Others, however, draw his way through the Ebro valley and the Cantabrian Roman road and there are even those who assure that Santiago reached the Peninsula through present-day Cartagena, from where he headed his journey to the western corner of the map."
