Brief history of how Apostle St. James the Greater became the Patron Saint of Spain. The music is the Hymn to Santiago (St. James, in Spanish), interpreted by the Choir of the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela.

*******************************
Translation of the lyrics: Hymn to the Apostle Santiago

Holy Leader, Patron of Spain,
Friend of the Lord;
defend your loved disciples
protect your Nation.

The victorious arms of the Christians
we have come to forge
in the sacred and live fire
of your devoted altar.

Firm and secure,
like that Column
which the Mother of Jesus gave you,
will be in Spain
the Holy Christian Faith,
celestial Good that you conferred upon us.

Bis.

Glory to Santiago,
formidable Patron!
Thankful, your sons,
today bless you.

Prostrated to your feet we offer you
the most heartfelt testimony of our affection.
Defend your loved disciples!
Protect your Nation!

*******************************
Lyrics in Spanish:

Himno al Apóstol Santiago

Santo Adalid, Patrón de las Españas,
Amigo del Señor;
defiende a tus discípulos queridos,
protege a tu nación.

Las armas victoriosas del cristiano
venimos a templar
en el sagrado y encendido fuego
de tu devoto altar.

Firme y segura
como aquella Columna
que te entregó la Madre de Jesús
será en España
la santa Fe cristiana,
bien celestial que nos legaste Tú.

Bis.

¡Gloria a Santiago,
Patrón insigne!
Gratos, tus hijos,
hoy te bendicen.

A tus plantas postrados te ofrecemos
la prenda más cordial de nuestro amor.
¡Defiende a tus discípulos queridos!
¡Protege a tu nación!

  • Otros han tenido que inventarse personajes como Gandalf...

    Nosotros tenemos un protector real y más poderoso que no admite imitaciones...

    ¡Santiago!

  • Video muy muy muy bonito :)

  • Terrific.

  • Santiago y cierra, España!

  • Fantástico video que nos recuerda la importancia del apostol Santiago en la lucha contra la tiranía del islám. Recordemos que bin Laden ha enviado varios comunicados a los mulsumanes para invadir España y recuperar el sur de España, Italia, Grecia y los balcanes. Los europeos debemos estar en alerta para defender nuestros valores occidentales.
