Saint Rose of Lima was born on 20 April 1586 in Lima, Peru. Her father
was Spanish, her mother was of indigenous ancestry, and Rose was one
of 13 children. Her real name was Isabel, but she was such a beautiful
baby with rosy cheeks, that people started to call her 'Rose'.

Since she was a child, she showed great devotion to God. Her parents
hoped that her good looks would grant her a good marriage, but Rose
decided to follow a religious life dedicating herself to God. Her efforts
were soon noticed by the Dominican Order who allowed her to join
them without any payment.

During her service to the people of Lima, Rose practiced some extreme
forms of devotion; eating only bread and water and wearing a spiked
crown around her waist under her clothes. Rose died at the age of 31.
Her funeral had to be delayed by two days due to the amount of people
who wanted to pay their respects. Rose was beatified in 1667.

technical officer and I were patrolling the streets around a small

over the car. I got off the police car and approached. I looked
through the window car, but nobody was there. I called my partner
to see. We were shocked.
Then, it was time for lunch, so we stopped at a near restaurant. It
was an old building. We looked through the window. There were
lots of people in the restaurant. They were eating and drinking. A
musician was playing the violin. They were not wearing normal,
modern clothes. They were wearing hats, jackets and dresses from
another century, but we were hungry, so we opened the door. When
we went into the restaurant, everything was different. The people

were wearing normal clothes. The musician was not there. It was a
very strange experience! We sat and drank a cup of coffee.
