Synopsis:
In this tape, Lola Cruz recounts the story of "Santa Rosa de Lima." The story is about a husband (Spaniard), a count, and a wife who have a child. The couple argue over the child's name. The Count's wishes prevail and the child is named Rosa. After going to Lima, Peru, the maid comes running to the wife to tell her that the child's face has turned into a rose. Afterwards, Ms. Cruz recounts various miracles performed by Saint Rosa de Lima and the subsequent conflicts over the meaning of these miraculous acts. Afterwards, Ms. Cruz recounts the narrative of La Virgen de los Remedios.
