Saint Ildephonsus of Toledo, born around 607 AD in Toledo, then the capital of the Visigothic Kingdom, was a towering figure in 7th-century Spanish Christianity, renowned for his devotion to the Virgin Mary and theological writings. From a noble Visigothic family with ties to Saint Isidore of Seville, he entered the Monastery of Agali as a youth, later becoming its abbot. Elevated to Archbishop of Toledo in 657 AD, he unified the Spanish Church through councils and liturgy, notably defending Mary’s perpetual virginity in works like *De Virginitate Sanctae Mariae*. Tradition holds that on December 18, 665, the Virgin Mary appeared to him in Toledo’s cathedral, gifting him a chasuble as a sign of divine favor—an event immortalized in art and legend. He died peacefully on January 23, 667 AD, leaving a legacy of Marian piety and ecclesiastical reform. | Saint Ildephonsus of Toledo, born around 607 AD in Toledo, then the capital of the Visigothic Kingdom, was a towering figure in 7th-century Spanish Christianity, renowned for his devotion to the Virgin Mary and theological writings.
