## Bio

Born 20 April 1586 to a noble family in Lima, she joined the Third Order of Saint Dominic and built a life around severe penance and private charity work for the city's destitute. Her devotion earned her sainthood - the first such recognition for anyone born in the New World. She became patron saint of embroidery, gardening, and flowering plants, and was named co-patroness of the Philippines alongside Pudentiana in 1942, though both were moved to second-class patronage that September. She remains primary patroness of Peru and Latin America's local people. Her image once appeared on Peru's highest-denomination banknote. She died 24 August 1617.
