Feast of St. Rose of Lima

[Kephapaulos]

Happy feast of St. Rose of Lima! A Dominican Tertiary!

[Geremia]

A Dominican Tertiary!

And emulator of St. Catherine of Siena and patroness and first canonized saint of the Americas!

Here's a forensic facial reconstruction of her:

[Geremia]

Es mi Rosa bella del cielo primor, y es de la hermosura toda admiración; ¡el alba la admire, celébrela el sol!	She is my beautiful Rosa, a delight from heaven, and her beauty is the object of all admiration; May the dawn admire her, may the sun celebrate her!
Es en todo tan hermosa que si mira la atención, la hallará, cuando la mire, divino objeto de un dios. ¡El alba la admire, celébrela el sol!	She is so beautiful in every way that if you look closely, you will find her, when you gaze upon her, a divine object of a god. May the dawn admire her, may the sun celebrate her!
Coplas: En el campo de Los Reyes donde Rosa se plantó a toda flor fragante en su natal usurpó. ¡El alba la admire, celébrela el sol!	Verses: In the fields of Los Reyes, where Rosa took root, she surpassed every fragrant flower in her native land. May the dawn admire her, may the sun celebrate her!
En la gracia de sus ojos, toales virtudes mostró que es para todo veneno, la triaca superior [sic]. ¡El alba la admire, celébrela el sol!	In the grace of her eyes, she displayed such virtues that she is, for every poison, the supreme antidote [sic]. May the dawn admire her, may the sun celebrate her!
