The feast of St. Rose of Lima is coming up on August 23. She is the patroness of Latin America, the Phillipines, needle workers, and against vanity. She herself was very beautiful, and she would rub pepper on her face to ruin her own complexion. She is usually depicted with a rose crown on her head. Here are some ways you and the kids can remember her on her feast day!
