23 August - Saint Rose of Lima Day from Lima in Spain
The feast of Saint Rose of Lima was inscribed in the general Roman calendar in the year 1727, indicating August 30 as the date of the celebration, then the closest day to the anniversary of the death of the saint (August 24) not occupied by the celebration of another saint. The general revision of the general Roman calendar decreed in the year 1969 released August 23, the day before the anniversary of her death. For the Hispanic-American countries of which she is patron saint, as in Peru, August 30 is still kept.
In the Republic of Peru, August 30 is a holiday and her image (discovered on the day of the canonization in 1671, in the cathedral) travels the streets of Lima. In the month of August, the saint is solemnly worshipped in the district of Barranco, culminating with the procession on August 30.
Saint Rose of Lima also appears on the two hundred soles banknotes, the highest value in circulation in the Republic of Peru.
