Tecnun celebrates the Day of the patron saint

This year's patron saint Day, which was held in advance on Thursday, March 16, was presided over by good weather throughout the workshop. It was a round day that has regained all its splendor after the pause imposed by the pandemic. This celebration coincides with the feast of St. Joseph, the patron saint of engineers. Christian tradition tells us in the Gospels that St. Joseph was a "tekton", a word whose translation from Greek means carpenter and also builder, the one who builds things. At summary, St. Joseph the "tekton" has come to be associated with technology and thus with engineers.
