More from the day of the Long Walk

Hello, everyone. 
I did a short post while en route about the very long day,  but as the monastery didn't have wifi, there wasn't a lot in it.

Today, a little more, from Aljucen where we should have stopped. (We should have broken the very long day into halves.) 
Our Lady of the Seven Sorrows. The sorrows are symbolized by the swords.
San Isidro Labrador. Notice the angel tending his plow at one side. San Isidro would go to daily Mass, and the employer made a fuss about him arriving later than the others. "Be on time or else!" he is said to have declared.  San Isidro went to Mass anyway, and when the employer went to see if the field was being plowed as directed, he discovered that the ox was harnessed and the plow was working,  but no one was visible directing the plows progress. An angel had taken the plow until San Isidro got there after Mass.
There is an information sign outside, too.
