An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org:8891

¡Santiago! (or ¡Santiago y cierra, España!), is a Christian rallying cry of Spanish soldiers during the Reconquista and crusading era of medieval Spain. The phrase, "¡Santiago y cierra España!" — literally, "St. James and Seal Spain!" or "Santiago and close, Spain!" was an appeal to St. James to intercede in closing Spain's borders from foreign bodies and invasion. Contrary to this interpretation there are other authors who argue that the military order closes, in military terms means to engage in combat, attack or attack; "Close" the distance between you and the enemy.St. James became the patron of Spain, and the hope and the mainstay of the Christian people in times of stress, war and threatening ruin.
