We are the 236th day of the year and we celebrate the Sainte-Rose. Peruvian of Spanish origin, Rosa del Flores (1586-1617) was the first “ servant of God ” of the New World to be canonized. All her life she cared for the unhappy Indians.
The sun rises two minutes later at 6:57 a.m. and sets two minutes earlier at 8:49 p.m. The saying goes: “ at Sainte-Rose, for the worker, no break ”.
