Saint Rose of Lima, TOSD (†1617) was a lay member of the Third Order of Saint Dominic in Lima, Peru, who became known for both her life of severe penance and her care of the poverty stricken of the city through her own private efforts. Rose of Lima was born to a noble family and is the patron saint of embroidery, gardening and cultivation of blooming flowers. She was declared a saint by the Catholic Church, being the first person born in the Americas to be canonized as such. Her shrine is located inside of the convent of Saint Dominic in Lima, Peru. The Catholic Church says that many miracles followed her death: there were stories that she had cured a leper, and that, at the time of her death, the city of Lima smelled like roses; roses also started falling from the sky. Many places in the New World are named Santa Rosa after her. As a saint, Rose of Lima has been designated as a co-patroness of the Philippines, the primary patroness of Peru, and of the local people of Latin America. Her feast day is celebrated on August 23.
