Overview

• On October 5, 2025, the Catholic calendar features San Froilán of León as the principal commemoration.
• Several thousand devotees gathered at the Basilica of La Virgen del Camino for the Romería de San Froilán, following the custom of touching the saint’s nose three times.
• The pilgrimage brought pendones and decorated carts from across the province, included a Mass led by Bishop Luis Ángel de las Heras, and drew regional officials.
• Hagiographic tradition recalls Froilán’s preaching in Galicia and León, his support for monastic life, generous care for the poor, and the wolf legend of a tamed companion.
• Today’s listing also remembers San Atilano of Zamora and includes names such as María Faustina Kowalska, Tranquilino Ubiarco Robles, and Bartolomeo Longo for onomástica.
