May 30th is San Fernando's Day and since my grandfather was also named Fernando, I will be celebrating for both of us today. Actually, this date commemorates King Ferdinand III of Castile who died on May 30, 1252. He was one of the most successful kings of Castile and in 1671 he was canonized by Pope Clement X. In the United States, the city of San Fernando and the San Fernando Valley are named after him and placed under his patronage. So, hail King Ferdinand!
