San Joaquín

San Joaquín is revered in Christian tradition as the father of the Virgin Mary and the grandfather of Jesus Christ. He, along with his wife Santa Ana, is celebrated as the patron saint of grandparents, symbolizing the transmission of faith, love, and family values across generations. His legacy is honored on July 26th, the Day of Grandparents, particularly in Latin America, where families express gratitude and affection towards their older relatives who provide wisdom and support.
