Off Topic: Feast Day of Saint Rose Of Lima, August 30

Once again, it is the Feast Day of the first Catholic Saint of the New World: St. Rose of Lima, Patroness of the Americas and the Philippines.

Today in Lima, the faithful will be visiting her sanctuary in colonial Lima, as well as the town of Santa Rosa de Quives, where she spent her teenage years.

Processions in her honor will take place all over Peru.

Que hermoso post Alejandro. A pesar de ser una católica del futuro como digo yo, con Santa Rosa tengo un especial agradecimiento eterno por aparecer en el momento más difícil de mi vida.
Tengo su rostro a la entrada de mi casa en un cuadro tipo cuzqueño precioso.
Saludos,
Katia

St. Rose of Lima has indeed an important place in the history of Peru, not only because of her being the first saint born in the Americas, but also because Lima is a little more known thanks to her-- people are reminded of her birthplace every time her name is recalled.
Katia, ya he visto varios cuadros de Santa Rosa al estilo de la escuela cusqueña y son muy lindos; de seguro me compraré uno o dos la próxima vez que visite el Perú.
Saludos a todos.

@ Katia: Ya me imagino que ese cuadro ha de ser precioso. Muy humano tu comentario. Saludos!

@ Canelita: Sé lo cuánto que significa para ti Santa Rosa de Lima. Un abrazo.

la fé mueve muchas personas el día de la Rosita..yo por primera vez fuí a su casa, nomás unos días antes porque se hace inmensas colas para enviar sus cartitas y visitar su santuario.

gratificante habrá sido ver a tanta gente con tanta fé, que bien que esas tradiciones y sentimientos se conserven...
