St. Rose of Lima Print

Description

St. Rose was the first saint from the Americas to be canonized.  She is the patroness of Latin America, the Philippines, florists, and gardeners.
She once stayed with a family that witnessed and kept a diary of the many miracles of the Saint.  One incident involved a little bird that arrived every evening and would sing with Rose.  The Saint would play her guitar and they both sang a song of praise to God.  When the song was done, Rose would send the little bird on its way.  Her Feast Day is August 23.
