EDITORS COMMENTS
This colored engraving depicts Saint Rose of Lima (1586-1617), the first canonized saint from the Americas. Born in Lima, Peru, to Spanish parents, Rose was a mystic tertiary of the Dominican Order, dedicating her life to prayer, penance, and the care of the sick and the poor. The image captures Rose in her ascetic habit, adorned with a crown of thorns and roses, symbolizing her deep devotion to the Passion of Christ and her purity. She is shown holding a cross, a reminder of her commitment to her faith, and a rose, representing her name and her connection to the Dominican Order, whose symbol is the rosary. Rose's life was marked by extraordinary mystical experiences, including visions, stigmata, and ecstasies. She spent long hours in prayer and penance, living a simple and humble life in a small cell she built in her family home. Her self-imposed asceticism, which included wearing heavy chains and sleeping on a bed of thorns, was a testament to her deep devotion and her desire to imitate the suffering of Christ. The engraving, created in the 19th century, captures the essence of Rose's spirituality and her enduring legacy as a model of faith and piety for Catholics around the world. The rich colors and intricate details of the print bring the saint to life, transporting us back to the 17th century and allowing us to witness the depth of her devotion and the beauty of her faith.
