Multitudes of Peruvian faithful crowded streets outside the Saint Rosa of Lima church on Friday, during the annual day dedicated to the first saint of the Americas. They came to leave letters in the basilica's famous wishing well, and pray for their wishes for the coming year. Many brought blankets and warm clothing, expecting a long wait in the winter chill. Entire families come to the Basilica to participate in this important Catholic religious occasion, which honors Isabel Flores de Oliva, the real name of Saint Rosa of Lima. She was canonized in 1671 by Pope Clement X as the first saint of the Americas. The other four saints of Peru are, San Martin de Porres, Santo Toribio de Mogrovejo, San Francisco Solano and San Juan Masias. In a recent survey 70% of Peru's population identified as Catholic, according to the National Institute of Statistics and Information. #PeruPilgrimage, #SaintRoseOfLima, #FirstSaintOfTheAmericas, #Catholicism, #ReligiousTradition, #CulturalHeritage, #SouthAmerica, #Lima, #Devotion, #Faith, #Spirituality, #ReligiousTourism, #SacredSites, #PatronSaint, #SaintsOfTheAmericas, #CatholicSaints, #PeruvianCulture Subscribe to India Today for NEW VIDEOS EVERY DAY and make sure to enable Push Notifications so you'll never miss a new video.
