The Hermitage of San Blas in Los Yébenes (Toledo) is one of the oldest and most emblematic temples in the municipality, steeped in history, legends, and popular tradition.
It was built in the 15th century, when residents took a vow not to eat meat on the eve of San Blas, as protection against a rabid wolf that attacked shepherds and livestock.
The Toledo charcoal guild funded the construction of the hermitage, dedicated to San Blas, patron saint of wild animals and throat infections.
Also venerated inside are images of Saint Lucy and Saint Bartholomew, saints associated with local legends.
