Thousands of Catholic faithful filled the streets of Peru's capital to honor Santa Rosa de Lima, the country's patron saint. The annual tradition attracts a large crowd expressing gratitude and seeking blessings. Pilgrims from various cities gathered at the Santa Rosa convent, believed to be the birthplace of Isabel Flores de Oliva, known as Santa Rosa de Lima. President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski participated in the festivities, offering flowers to the saint. It is customary for devotees to leave letters with their requests in a well. The celebration dates back to 1671 when Santa Rosa was canonized by Pope Clement X for her humanitarian work for the poor.
