Sabino Arana was the founder of Basque Nationalism and set up the main symbols of the Basque Country. From his death in 1903, Arana himself became an essential symbol of Basque Nationalism, due to the mythification of his figure, carried out by his disciples and followers. This paper analyses the cult to Sabino Arana within Basque Nationalism from 1903 to the present, focusing in particular in its heyday during the Spanish Second Republic and its continuity in exile during Franco's Dictatorship. Arana is a very controversial symbol, exalted by Basque Nationalists and, in contrast, disparaged by non-Basque Nationalists, who have never considered him the real Father of the Basque Nation.
