Saint John the Baptist (San Juan Bautista), to whom this church in Hospital de Orbigo is dedicated, is – like Saint Joseph – a man on the threshold between the Old and the New Testament. His parents are Zechariah and Elisabeth. After the proclamation of God's incarnation, the Mother of God visits her relative Elisabeth, who will give birth to a son in old age, John the Baptist.

This is half a year older than Jesus and is considered his forerunner / pioneer. He lives in the desert, preaches the repentance of sins to the Jewish population and baptizes them in the Jordan, where Jesus also comes to be baptized, being filled with the Holy Spirit that descends on him from heaven.

The memorial day of John the Baptist (San Juan Bautista) in the calendar of saints is on June 24th, exactly half a year before 'Christmas Eve'.

Old church built by the Order of Malta and formerly part of a hospital built here, hence the name of the place
