The legend of the "Santa Rosa storm"

In 1615, Dutch privateers wanted to attack the city of Lima, one of the richest and most important points of the Viceroyalty of Río de La Plata.

Faced with the desperation of the people of the Peruvian capital, Santa Rosa called everyone to pray to the church. The caption indicates that at that time, a strong storm occurred in the area, preventing the ships from attacking the port of El Callao. Even the myth says that the pirate captain died on board the ship.

The Santa Rosa storm is a phenomenon that usually occurs a few days before or a few days after August 30th.

Santa Rosa de Lima died on August 24, 1617 and was elected Patroness of the Independence of Argentina, among other recognitions in the Americas.
