Saint Rose of Lima
(Santa Rosa de Lima) was the name given to
a seventeenth-century inhabitant of Lima.
Isabel Flores de Oliva felt a great
religious vocation and dedicated herself
to being a laywoman, without belonging to
any religious order in particular. She was
to spend her life caring for the sick and
her penitence undertaken to resist sin, as
well as her good nature earned her fame
even while she was alive. Veneration of
her figure spread not only in Peru but
also to the Philippines. Her shrine,
located in downtown Lima, is constantly
visited by pilgrims in search of a
miracle, especially those seeking to cure
an illness. On August 30, pilgrims often
cast letters detailing their needs into
the wishing well where Saint Rose dropped
the key from her cilice. Others visit the
hermitage that the saint herself built.
Saint Rose is the patron saint of Peru.
Although her festival is celebrated across
the country, it has a special Quechua
emphasis in the town of Santa Rosa de
Quives, in the highlands of the department
of Lima. |
