In commemoration with the celebration of St. Rose of Lima every year on August 30, she is remembered (first in Peru and then in the rest of America and other parts of the world) as the first South American to be canonized.

In fact, the date coincides with the date of her death in 1617 and its purpose is to remember her work and her preaching. For this reason the number of towns and cities that bear her name is (almost) infinite throughout Latin America.

The curious thing is that, from the climatic point of view, in Argentina invariably that day or in nearby days a storm of unusual violence is unleashed, sometimes even with hail and strong winds.

This year the storm came late but it was still felt a few days ago and I show it in photos.

The origin of the phenomenon has given rise to a legend as always happens in these cases. It is said that Santa Rosa de Lima (whose real name was Isabel Flores de Oliva) prevented with her mystical powers the Dutch pirates from attacking the city of Lima (Peru) by unleashing a violent storm that forced them to desert their attempts, even causing the death of the Dutch captain and making the rest of the crew desert.

With the same violence with which the storm arrived, they retreated.
